Sign behind the counter at a local tourist-trap convenience store here:
If you can find any item in this store at a lower price anywhere else, bring us the item with the receipt from the other store and we will cheerfully admit it.

Our general store up at the lake is called the Vacation Store by us year around people. About the only things we get from the store are items that are factory marked for price.(state law they cannot change)
All gas stations up here including this one are about 30 cents more than down in civilization. Gas at the Marinas are about a dollar more per gallon than land prices. This store does sell a lot of gas to people towing boats! |
