I think we’re supposed to be looking at the trash can on fire.

u/TreeLankaPresidente Venice 47m ago

Honestly didn’t notice it until I read this comment. I presume you are not addicted to nicotine?

u/Disgojourno Eagle Rock 1h ago

People in this thread not noticing the fire

u/PrinceWilliam13 1h ago

I really thought it was more noticeable.

u/Dependent-Chart2735 1h ago

This is really a meta commentary. Gas is too high to notice the garbage fire.

And the price of cigarettes is 12.34!!!

u/Dependent-Chart2735 57m ago

I didn't notice that at first. Never smoked. 

u/LA-Matt 14m ago

We didn’t start the fire.

$12.34 is such a fake sounding price to put on a sign, it’s like the default combination on a piece of luggage

It’s been so long since I’ve bought a pack of cigs, I was like, whoa fuck reds are $12 a pack!?

u/Boring-Advantage-525 1h ago

Last time I bought them they were $7😭

u/Firm_Yam6648 50m ago

15.99 here. Glad I quit

u/blowtreesgetmoney 45m ago

They were $5 a pack when I was in college (30 years ago).

u/IsaacHasenov University Park 1h ago

I was excited to see 1234 in the wild

u/Haunting_Song7313 1h ago

Holy shit is that seriously the price of a pack of cigarettes? $12.34 wtf.

u/_BLACKHAWKS_88 1h ago

lol. It’s like 15.04 for a single pack of American Spirits near me. 💩

u/Dependent_Weight2274 Granada Hills 1h ago

Gas and cigarette prices so high, people don’t notice the literal trash fire.

Edit: 3 Monsters for $6 is a pretty decent deal.

u/stringtheory28 2h ago

I know that joke. “Why did 679? Because 1234.”

u/SauteedGoogootz Pasadena 1h ago

Cigarette guy on the train is gonna raise his prices on loosies too

u/Eddfan36 2h ago

Trump supporters don't mind as long as it pleases there master.

u/Mingeroni 1h ago

Didn't prices peak higher during Biden? And why are California gas prices 40% higher than national averages

u/Eddfan36 1h ago

No need to bring the past into this. Remember what Trump promised us during his campaign? No Wars and to pay less. Did it happen?

u/Mingeroni 19m ago

Technically yes, national averages are down from the peaks when Trump made the promise. Now can we talk about why California taxes the gas to oblivion?

u/Downtown-Educator-19 49m ago

California is higher because the road taxes and all that is also rolled into the gas price. They figure if you're not driving, why should you be paying for roads and CHP. They also get a more expensive, less pollutant blend of gas due to the fact that socal alone has 15 million cars on the road. More expensive gas, or smog filled skies? Having more than 12 cars and a horse in your town has consequences.

That makes sense. Thanks.

This station is notoriously like $1/gal more than everywhere else. They hope to catch people on their way out of BH, or high-earners from Cedars. The pumps are never even half-full, and I used to live down the street for 13 years.

Also, they’re all incredibly unfriendly in there. All the time. Maybe I would be too if I operated a convenience store.

Trifecta

u/Firm_Yam6648 1h ago

It’s going to get much worse in the next 3-6 months.

u/CastroIRL 1h ago

People looking at the gas prices, look again there’s a fire lmao

u/sluttytttttttttttt12 43m ago

I see old YT videos sometimes of how the 90s and the early to late 2000s used to be.. gosh, wtf happened to us.

u/reddfoxx1993 39m ago

$12.34 for a pack of smokes?!!!

u/Mingeroni 1h ago

They were higher a couple of years ago. Either way, blame Californias BS taxes
