Did you hear that Exxon is going to close company owned gas stations because they can't make a large enough profit from them? They'd rather concentrate on raping us from the corporate level where the profits are greater.
...and it gets their name off of the station so the association with obscene profits is insulated. We'll be mad at Mohammed's Quik Serve rather than the Exxon tiger going in our tank, I mean rear.
I could be wrong but I THOUGHT I read that the Exxon name would still be posted at those "independent" stations.
You bring up a good point, though. Tiger Woods is a popular favorite; Tony the Tiger is still greeeeeeeeeat; but the Exxon tiger is a fucker now!
