You tell 'em! There's nothing more despicable than a for-profit

Slim Jim and Mountain Dew at the Tiger Mart.



He's not talking about simply making a profit. He's talking about gouging
the public.
It is, in fact, reprehensible.

Gouging.

Interesting.

Gouging usually implies higher than market prices. Around here,
Lake County, Illinois, Mobil has lower prices than Amoco.
Competitive, here, even with cut rate outfits like Clark.

Not to suggest that prices haven't risen, lately.

But gouging....not quite.
