work at convenience/gas store coastal nc. No gas UPDATED

Ain't that some shit. People had begun travelling to coast Easter, having been locked up for a year. Our beach had reservations booked through Oct. People in town, spending money, feeling free, being alive again.

This morn, Corp called, told us, shut off premium. For now we have reg unleaded and diesel fuel. They told us prices would begin climbing and reach $5/gallon quickly. Next larger town ran out of gas by afternoon. Even interstate gas stores. Only ones who will have gas are those who receive from western part of us and any other stores who get east coast deliveries will have to pay top dollar to get oon west coast schedule.

We didn't really think "they" would allow us to live freely, unvaxxed this summer and travel within us by car freely, did we? Stock up on anything you by that travels by gas. Prices are getting ready to skyrocket. Just hit my grocer and bought food at today prices. Tomorrow, who knows?

UPDATE. Store ran out of gas during overnight fill ups. Per corp, no deliveries scheduled. Managers are out on roads advising those sitting far back in traffic that there is no gas. Local island business affected overnight are landscapers, jet ski company, pontoon boat water tours, shrimpers and fishermen, local boating, marinas, etc. Sheesh, had a perfect season at start off, now these small businnesses are losing any revenue made since Easter. Went to Shallote, BP and Shell had some gas, gas lines, cops directing traffic. Other than that, not much traffic on roads. Don't know about on interstates though.
