Default Shell Station Hwy 466A . What's going on?

Went by the Shell Station for gas today at 466A and all the pumps were down and no price for gas listed on the marque. What's going on?

When you are not competitive, that can happen. You go out of business.

This could be good news as perhaps someone will take over and their prices will be more in line with others in the area.

Never mind the Gas Station, what about the Blue Plate Diner?

Their computer is down. They're hoping it will be fixed by this evening.

Their prices have been cheaper then the Shells on 466. They'll be open when the computer comes back on line. Place is packed in the morning with all the contractors but for gas and breakfast. This latest owner is doing a good job.

I have never been to that station. They are the most expensive in the area.

The guys running this gas station are idiots only in business to make money at outrageous prices. We should boycott this station.

Are you referring to gas prices way up there or just prices in general?
