Cheapest Gasoline Ever
Our local grocery store, Giant Eagle, might have the stupidest name in the history of commerce. Whoever thought to name their store Giant Eagle is a silly, silly bastard.
BUT, they do have a really cool benefit for their rewards card. They also own some gas stations and as you rack up all the cash buying wheat Boboli crusts and shredded mozzerella, you start to earn a cheaper price per gallon at their gas station. I have spent tons of cash at the grocery store, and I had it to the point that it was finally worth driving the extra 5 miles out of my way to fill up at the Giant Eagle gas station. The gas was basically free.
In this day and age when the price of gasoline is out of control, this was about the most amazing sight I had seen in a long time. And I am sure that the display on the gas pump is all a part of making this feel rewarding enough to get people to participate.
Check it out. These are not photoshopped.
Less than one cent per gallon for gasoline
After all the gas was pumped, it rounded up to only 2 cents to fill my whole tank.

If you become too accepting of a condition that you really don’t want to encourage, you might just end up with unintended consequences.
Yes, Giant Eagle is pretty cool that way; but since we moved, I don’t get there much.
