He couldn't remember how the mini-mart operators had screwed him, but somehow the procedure they had in place made Rock feel obliged to pay twice as much as it was worth for a tank of gas. He was still steamed when he drove back through to top off his tank.
Jim Taylor, Rock's former neighbor, was the cashier. "They told me to give you your next fill-up for half price," he said.
Rock had only pumped a couple of gallons. The ticket was for $3.90, so he handed Jim a $1.95 in cash and a hand-written note. "Give this to them," he said.
The note read: "Thanks, dickheads."
