Gassing up at BP

I can't gas up at BP or Shell!

Their pumps are all set on a concrete pad about 6-12" thick! On top of that their credit card reader in the pumps are too high!

Why does this make a difference? When you're in a wheelchair it makes a HUGE difference! The only pumps that aren't like that are Texaco, World Gas and some smaller gas stations.

There's a group out of Michigan, Paralyzed Veterans of America that are working and trying to get the bigger conglomerates like BP & Shell to put in a handicapped pump/s. But they BP & Shell won't listen!

So I urge all to boycott those two companies! (Since you brought it up.)

Why would I allow the spill to stop me? They screwed up no doubt about it, but it could just as easily have been one of the other companies. They didn't do it intentionally.

That being said, I buy my gas from a little local place right down the street. Its a few cents higher, but I know the owner and all the profit goes local. But I have no idea where they get their gas from. Could be BP, I don't know.

Plus the girl behind the register is easy on the eyes. :)

if they also opted out of the safety measure that would've prevented it, right? i don't know if other companies have or not.

    • And you know this how? Stay in your lane, junior. I'm pretty sure I'm a lot older than you, am a whole lot more experienced with life, and have watched football in earnest probably longer than you've been alive. I agree, but I was talking directly about injuries. As far as the economics, I'm assuming that Moton would have to take a pay cut and would probably be compelled to if he wants to stay in Charlotte. He seems like a thoughtful and practical guy. He knows that he's getting older and realizes the nature of the business. Hell, last time there were were questions on whether he would be here the last season. Dan and Brandt were dialing up the pressure. I don't think they're going to go into any type of contractual extension discussions without having a backup plan--i.e., a person that will appear to be Moton's replacement. And, to be honest, that person may be Moton's replacement depending how things go. But, I get the impression that Moton wants to be in Charlotte (unless he's developed some undying desire to chase a championship somewhere else).
    • It would be pretty fun with something like this. 3 on 3 the first 5 minutes, 2 on 2 the next 5 minutes (after a stoppage), then 1 on 1 (after a stoppage) the rest of the way. I just feel like this would be equal parts entertaining and chaos to watch
    • I'm more surprised our odds to win the division didn't really improve that much after free agency (like +380 -> + 320). I threw a few hundred on us to win the division again at +425 back in February, just because I figured Atlanta and Tampa would get worse. After our free agency, I am still surprised Tampa is the favorite to win the division.
