So Many Changes

The same week as the meat counter disorientation...

... this is unbelievable...

the SAME WEEK

THIS happened...

Names have been changed to protect unprotected names.

Before... Full Serve... Jeremiah Johnson pumps gas for the gas crowd for 25 years.

Memorial Portrait of an Era Gone By.

Dismantling Jeremiah's World

Now it is just regular old self serve gas. People swipe their card, pump, and go. Unless you want to pay with cash. Then you have to come into the store and bug the cashier to preauthorize the pump for you and pay your money. We have to punch a bunch of stuff into a gadget covered with inscrutable buttons. And, of course, stuff likes to GO WRONG and we get all flummoxed and then the lynch mob starts to form as the line backs up to the dairy coolers.

And everybody is worried about poor Jeremiah.

Where is Jeremiah?

What is he doing? 

Does he still have a job?

Don't worry, he is just working inside the store now...

doing...

BEVERAGES!!!! 

(since STUPID VERNE abandoned us)

and other stuff.
