A gas station manager accidentally set gas price at 69 cents.

I hope he can get his job back.

I’ll bet that gofundme account makes more than the $16,000 worth of gas he mistakenly gave away!

Can anyone tell me why Colonel Sanders is in that photo?

Highways, Hijinks, And Murder In Kentucky

Harland Sanders found himself in possession of a little gas station in Corbin, Kentucky, just off the highway. He began selling leftover meals to hungry travelers, simple meals, like he’d have made for his young siblings in Indiana: country ham, string beans, okra, fluffy biscuits — and fried chicken.

Sanders’ stop proved so lucrative, in fact, that he began to advertise on the highway to draw in travelers in need of a home-cooked meal. The restaurant grew day by day as demand ballooned — particularly for his unbeatable chicken.

It was around this time, too, in 1935, when the honorary title of “Colonel” was bestowed upon him by Kentucky Governor Ruby Laffoon for his service to his community and entrepreneurship.

6. The last time I paid that for gasoline I was making more than ten dollars an hour.

My rent was $120 a month.

Gas was almost free.

I didn't think about it.

That lifestyle didn't last.

7. Depressing that hundreds of people filled up before someone told them the price was wrong

I can slight people in my area for plenty of things, but the employees would have been told inside the first dozen here.

10. He's good on camera. Someone needs to give him an opportunity.

Bloopers and blunders human interest stories or something. Every single one of us has done at least one dumbass thing.

Car wash with the back windows open (one of mine)
Tearing down a deck way too tired after work and knocking the support out that you are actually standing on. (husband)
Driving up an exit ramp in the dark in an unfamiliar place. (sister)

We all have um. This was his.
