I thought I had reposted this.
The original was pulled due to my colorful nickname for the current occupant in the literal and figurative pile of rubble that is the White House.
Here's the post... upon reflection, I'm hoping these are not one-offs, though that would appear to be the case:
While I'm finding them to be a bit much for the $10 base pay, they are proving to serve their purpose.
With gas prices up over 50% since the start of our lovely little illegal war, my goal has been to have Big Oil pay for as much of my gas as possible. Up until a recent trip I had not paid for gas out of my own pocket since the whole thing started.
So being able to get a little over a gallon of gas (at current prices) make these more attractive to me.
The beverage purchase requirement means you have to judiciously schedule (unless you're just going to toss it), especially seeing as most places will have you go over the $2 reimbursement.
Coffee prices have gone craycray of late, and are no longer a realistic shop purchase unless it's really early in the morning and I need some really badly.
Doing the truck stop brands is definitely the smarter strategy as it's easy to move about the larger, busier spaces and knock out the report. I did a couple of smaller footprint stops without issue, but I can see where a standard convenience store might be problematic.
Have synthesizers, will travel...
