A Reedsburg gas station owner has been fined $400 by British Petroleum (BP) for not removing stickers depicting President Joe Biden claiming responsibility for the surge in gas prices.
"Oil giant BP has fined a US petrol station owner $400 because a customer attached a sticker to her pump which blamed the country's President Joe Biden for the country's high gas prices," Sky News Australia tweeted.
Frustrated Americans have started an anti-Biden sticker trend on gas pumps across the country. Gas station operator Pam Coy told Sky News Australia that while her staff removes stickers when they see them, she agrees with their sentiment.
“We keep taking them off, not that I want to, and they keep putting them back on. We can’t have someone standing out there 24/7 but yeah it cost me $400 in our money from BP because I have those stickers on there. I don’t care. Truth hurts, doesn’t it?” said Coy.
Coy added that BP will reimburse her the $400 if she takes the stickers off the pumps and sends photos to BP with proof. However, she also said, "I don't know, I might just leave them on there for the point. I don't care. It's what people feel."
On April 25, President Biden tweeted "Let’s be clear about two of the reasons prices, including the price of gas, are so high right now: COVID and Vladimir Putin."

The oil companies are still rakin’ in the dough so the rise in gas prices doesn’t affect them like it does us peasants.
So, the Woke Pressure (at the pump) IS FROM the corporate offices of the oil companies, eh?
VERY effective!
Screw B.P.
B.P. screwed me in Florida with that spill. Cost me about $10k, never got a penny.
I’ve been to Reedsburg many times. Nice little Wisconsin town.

Ridiculous. People everywhere are putting those stickers up; I don’t see how many owners can keep up with it.
Do they expect the owner to hire a ‘sticker watchdog’?
I think attaching the stickers should be legally mandated.
Where are the State Legislatures when they are needed.
Free speech.

“Without evidence.”
Private Property.
I just sent BP a complaint letter.

BP owns the dispensers, pipes, and tanks, and stp’s (subterranean pumps), etc. Its basic vandalism from their perspective.
BP owns the equipment. Vandalism.
Free Speech....
I bet if they put a couple on your auto you would be fuming
and wanting them to take them off. Then again, maybe not.
The owners tell the attendants to go out among the pumps periodically and scrape them off if they find them. The ones I keep posting at Sam’s Club keep getting scraped off.
And another British company owned the tea cast into Boston harbor.
A sticker trend
SMH
Well, in this story, the owner said that they DO scrape them off; but people keep putting them back on. I guess BP happened to see one before it was removed.
Maybe you should put it on your own property, instead of getting a company into trouble. Ever thought about a lawn sign?
