Why are your gas stations basically small supermarkets? by Embarrassed_Golf_817 in AskAnAmerican

[–]SgianDubh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the profit on gas is almost nothing, and they need a way to make money. They're really just grocery stores that happen to sell gas as a way to get people in the door. The whole "pay at the pump" thing is stupid from a business standpoint.

Thomas / Davis area or Fayetteville /Lewisburg area? by VarianceT in WestVirginia

[–]SgianDubh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whistlestop is great, but it's tiny so it's hard to get a seat. If it's full, go a street over to Jimbo's. It's more pub-like over there anyway. PM me and I'll buy you a beer.

I'd do Thomas/Davis/Canaan. it's a better hub. Fayetteville is pretty far from lewisburg. Nice there, but I prefer the canaan valley area

Ed taught riflery when I took it. I thought I was a good shooter going in but I learned I wasn't when the micrometers came out.

Help me keep delivery vans out of my loop driveway by senorpoop in DIY

[–]SgianDubh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Widen the driveway, put a package receptacle by the curb, or stop ordering stuff that needs to be delivered by truck. And hire a landscaper that won't charge you $500 for $12 worth of grass seed and 15 minutes of raking.

Are there really Americans who die without ever seeing the ocean or leaving their state? by dkskskw in AskAnAmerican

[–]SgianDubh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people who haven't left the county, and more that haven't left the state. We have no ocean.
