(I like that there is absolutely no mention of personal ethics in this...this story is painted in tones of 'what good luck!' and yet the gas station owner has just lost hundreds of dollars on what isn't really nearly so profitable a business as you might expect...it's usually not shell or chevron that own/operate these stations, it's neighbors and friends that hardly get rich selling fuel, that is why they have to increase their margin with food and snacks etc. I'm certainly no paragon of values, but for some reason I think all those people should be ashamed of themselves for gloating over someone elses misfortune. At least have the decency to be smug about it in private....cd)
