Live a Little

I just don't get people who get excited about Costco gasoline cuz it's 20¢ cheaper than others, and are willing to wait in line for 30 minutes for it. Let's say you have a 20-gallon tank. And that's being generous. You save $4. I can't recount off the top of my head what minimum wage is today, but are you telling me 30 minutes of your time is worth less than $4? Let's say you do make minimum wage, say, $7.75 per hour - that sounds about right the last time i paid attention - half an hour of your time is worth $3.88 (rounded up). So really you've come 12¢ on top. And that's 30 minutes of your LIFE you'll never get back. Put a price on that!
