Midwest Petroleum

If you would like to see the place that gives Granite City the bad name, this is it. Its clientele is pretty much full of mostly weirdos. Some of them uneducated in any way. If you would like to know what I’m talking about, here it is. This is a list compiled by one of my good friends who works there:
1) Stealing is wrong, period.
2) You have to pay for your gas, just a friendly reminder.
3) When you buy pants, you don’t just buy some random pair, grab your size.
4) When you buy cigs and «no-​no» sticks, we need to know the flavor and brand. Going to a car dealership and simply telling them you want to buy «a car» doesn’t work.
5) No you can’t buy beer at 4:00 in the morning. (Go home and go to bed.)
6) Agree or not: weed is still illegal, get with the program.
7) Don’t buy $ 60 worth of scratch offs a night and then complain about being broke. Hint: you are not broke, you had $ 60 A NIGHT for scratch offs. Not only are you not broke, you have money.
8) The parking lot is not one big trash can, the trash can is the trash can.
9) The whole bathroom is not the toilet, the toilet is the toilet. You can do it, we believe in you.
10) Please make sure you bring a wallet. Don’t use your shoe. Thanks.
Sadly, these were all real events that inspired this list.
