Wisconsin gas station owner on $400 BP fine: 'Truth hurts, doesn't it?
Southern Wisconsin Times ^ | April 27,2022 | By Art Benavidez

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."

To me, placing stickers on gas pumps is vandalizing private property.
Even though it is to a much lesser degree, I see it as much the same manner as BLM destroying private property over George Floyd.
I am sure those of you with situational ethics can defend putting the stickers up. But you will never get me to agree with it.

I still say, buy them and give them to kids. Kids love stickers and will trade them and put them everywhere.

On April 25, President Biden tweeted

Let's be clear.

PoopyPantz couldn't send a tweet if his life Depended on it. Some snot-nosed minion in the White Hospice did that.

He can fill a Depends, and eat ice cream. That's about it.

How would you like it if I were a neighbor with a gripe against you, and put stickers on your house/car?

I think this is kind of a stupid thing to do to gas station owners, who have nothing to do with the price of gas.

Maybe they should just all quit, so they aren’t ‘accessories’ to this gas-price outrage.

Ill bet there’s a way the station owner can “retaliate” if he thinks about it.

I purchased some of those stickers also Amazon. And have put them on pumps in the area where I live. They are very cheap. But very effective with the November election coming up.

The stickers should say: DEMOCRAT VOTERS DID THIS! Anything else is not addressing the real problem.

Slightly off topic but, FYI, BP is no longer a top tier gasoline.

My Costco put a small “Post No Bills” sticker towards the top of the face of their pumps. It should say “Post No Biden ‘I Did That’ Stickers.”

So, now people who object to vandalism of private property are ‘pantywaists’?

I seem to recall the Summer of 2020...they thought they were justified, too.

But of course, you’re different, right?

At Biden’s $15.00 minimum wage, that will shoot past $400 bucks real fast.

I like that sort of thinking. The panels on most the gas pumps are plastic. Melting point of say 300°F. I could make an aluminum die and attach it to some kind of electric heating element like a soldering iron. Heat it up and press it into the plastic. Presto! No more stickers to remove!

A “Post No Bills” sticker would make me want to put a sticker of Bill Clinton or Bill Gates below it.
