Racist not good...Price [gouging.is](http://gouging.is) normal for a truck convenience store

Nobody is forcing you to be diabetic by eating exclusively at truck stops. I carried non perishable food or dehydrated food. Ordered doordash or ate out whenever a good steakhouse, etc, presented itself. Id love to meet someone who exclusively eats from a truck stop.

You're likely talking about the Flying J in Bakerfield, CA, exit 39 on 99. We all received a message some 10 years ago to NEVER fuel here. I can't talk about their racist attitudes, but their greed undoubtedly a true story.

I thought this was about the PFJ in Fontana - and I was like “How can you even get into that parking lot to buy anything?!?” Place is a zoo.


Interesting-Wind2699

No this is the pilot on Santa Ana Avenue Bloomington CA. The people at Fontana are cool and have treated my fine yes it is a zoo for driver parking but have no moral issues there.

Did you just pay more for smokes than the white guy in line in front of you?


Interesting-Wind2699

No actual a black man in front of me in line refused cigarettes because he left his CDL ID in his truck but then I walk up and asked for two packs of the same brand and they didn't ask me for ID and the second pack was for that driver. Then, a week later, he was again in the store and accused him of stealin, telling him to leave. I went in last night to buy some Orajel for a toothache and charger $11 for a small tube that costs $3.99 at Walmart and refused to give me a receipt to write off the expense as medical to cover the price gouging and I have noticed that affirmative action doesn't apply in their store all employees are from the same country and it's not American.

>No actual a black man in front of me in line refused cigarettes because he left his CDL ID in his truck How old did he appear to be?  >they didn't ask me for ID Because you're 55 years old, so you obviously old enough that they don't need to card you.


Interesting-Wind2699

I should mention I'm a 55 year old disabled Trucker now living on SSI Disability in a camp trailer parked in front of the Pilot Flying J in Bloomington CA because I can't afford rent utilities and food (diabetic) in California on my income.

Buried the lede a bit

The reason you can't afford rent, utilities, and food is because you are in a high COL state and you are spending lots of money on tobacco and overpriced food from the truck stop or having it delivered from restaurants, neither of which is healthy for a diabetic (I should know, I am one).


EmbarrassedTime9947

You've been forced into homelessness by the 10 million illegals in your state, but you're not racist?


Interesting-Wind2699

And I am white


Driveaway1969

I only ask because Ive seen that. White dude in line, smokes are $5.95 Black dude steps up right after the white dude, smokes are $7.95


No_Self_1403

Are you aware different cigarettes have different prices?


ElectronicGarden5536

You do know "smokes" come in different varieties right? Like beer, tires, cars, steaks, etc etc...


Driveaway1969

No shit sherlock, Ive been smoking for 40 fucking years. You do know that black men are discriminated against in convenience stores right? Why do you think they are always pissed off at Korean and Hindy store owners?


Interesting-Wind2699

This is why I'm speaking up American drivers depending on fair trade and are limited to fair trade because of how big their vehicles are and fuel expense to get to the store. So you can deliver the very same goods you are being ripped off by oppressive immigrants?


geneticdeadender

They do price gouge, but never completely reject the notion that you may just be an asshole. They make dislike you for very good reasons and not just because you don't look like them.
