BP owns the equipment. Vandalism.
And another British company owned the tea cast into Boston harbor.
Or is it Truth in Advertising? An explanation to rising gas prices.
Yep. The station owner, just like a pizza shop owner, is nothing but a franchise owner who is legally obligated to obey the mandates of the franchise.
I've been putting stickers on the pumps of my local Mobile gas station and yesterday the owner asked me not to. Out of respect to him and his explanation why, I agreed to his request.
Mobile, just like the others, use "mystery shoppers" whose job is to go into the stations and do an assessment of the conditions of the station and the demeanor of the employees then send the report back to Mobile. There are repercussions for a negative report but I don't know what they are.
“BP owns the equipment. Vandalism.”
True, but the station owner is not the vandal so they should not be paying anything. Let BP send someone to remove the stickers if it bothers them so much.
