I have always hated using a card to pay for gas at the pump and to that end have been driving somewhat out of my way for years to use Speedway gasoline, the last chain in the cosmos to allow pre-pumping without paying first.
Yesterday, this came to an unceremonious end. A simple sign was espied saying that, "due to market conditions," all gas must be either pre-paid or paid for using a debit or credit card at the pump.
This will likely affect my budget and waistline positively, as I will just now be paying for gas outside and not going in, where I can be lured into buying some SpicyGarlicKaffirLimeSeaSalt Doritos or some such.
Still, this effectively ends the American Dream.
