Without a local product line, they severely cut their product count. Didn't make it. When they had good product, they did well until they didn't. Relying entirely on a single local supplier seems like a bad business decision. (18)

4. Gas issue - Shell on Red River （ 43 ｜ 11 ｜ 16）
Original title:Gas issue - shell on red river
Post summary:Just wondering if anyone has had this issue or noticed this. Tonight I went to the bigger Shell on Red River (and Red River/Junot), I put $20 in the tank, but my gauge didn't move at all. Now I know gas is expensive, but this isn't the first time this has happened at this place. I was in a hurry, so I had to put $20 in here and there, and it always changed my mileage until it ran out... but this time, nothing. I tried to explain to the staff, he assured me the gas was pumped and transferred to the vehicle, but

Just wondering if anyone has had this issue or noticed this. Tonight I went to the bigger shell on Red River (and River/junot) I put $20 in my gas tank and my meter didn’t move AT ALL. Now I know gas is expensive but this isn’t the first time it’s happened at this location. Time is tight so I’ve had to put in $20 here
Featured comments:
- I doubt they're actively stealing from customers, more unfortunately, now $20 buys less gas. The only place you can get gas for under a dollar now is Taco Bell. Sorry, things are tight, but after driving for a while, the km until empty might still adjust, it's not that accurate, especially on a low tank. Maybe next time bring a non-deformed 5L/10L container to fill first (46)
EN: I have my doubts they’re actively stealing from customers and it’s more the unfortunate reality that $20 buys less gas now. The only place you can get gas for under a dollar now is Taco Bell. Sorry things are so tight bu - How low was your level to begin with? These days, $20 isn't much, and if your tank is really low, it might take a while for it to register on the gauge. The lower it is, the longer it takes. (15)
EN: How low were you to begin with? $20 isnt a lot these days and if your tank was very low it can take a while to register a change on the gauge. The lower it is the longer it can take. - If your fuel is really low, 10 liters might not be enough to move the gauge. Especially on a big tank. (14)
EN: If you were really low 10 litres may not be enough to move the gauge. Especially on a big tank. - We had an issue at that station last year. Turned out there was a skimming device on the credit card reader at the pump. No gas came out, and our credit card was later used at several fast food places. Visa eventually covered the charges as a fraud claim, but definitely check the reader to make sure it's secure and not a skimmer, which if pulled, would cause the pump to shut down. Not sure if that's the OP's issue, but we had this at the same station on RR road (7)

A few years ago, I bought a full bass string, the wood was split so small it was ridiculous, they forced about 3/4 of a face. Though they did give another full face for free. (2)

Original title:Why is TBay so unsafe for colored people?
Post summary:This afternoon, I walked from Red River Road to the McDonald's on Cumberland, listening to music on my headphones and minding my own business. Suddenly, I noticed a drunk white man nearby. I kept my head down and walked a bit faster, but I could hear him yelling insults and using racial slurs. He kept following me, and when I stayed at McDonald's for coffee and started walking back, I noticed he was gone. However, he suddenly appeared behind me and started insulting me again.
