Protest at Giant Food in Waldorf on 4/10/2011

If you are talking about a tractor as in tractor trailer, most of them hold a minimum of 200 gallons.

My truck came with a 40 gallon tank. the extra 100 would be nice on long trips. Wife would never get to stop and pee.

Mine is specifically set up as a gooseneck tow rig. A 40 gallon tank down and a 66 gallon tank behind the cab..sitting in plain sight in all its diamond-plated glory for every "SS" to see.

btw: WTF is an "SS" and why would they care about my fuel tank?

My F-450 holds a 100 gallons...built that way...new. Quiz: How much does a typical road tractor hold?

Ah Quizmaster! But first, touch your right ear with your left elbow while lifting your second left foot. Let me how you do.

then we will be set up the same. I have the 40 below and am installing the 100 in the bed. and still have room for a fiver if and when I get rid of the tag along.

Thoise disgusting greedy grocery chains! There outa be a law..a special tax on their windfall profits. Corporate greed epitomized.

One of the lowest margin businesses on the face of the planet too...lowever than health insurance companies, even.

Average after tax profits for all chains combined: hovers around 1.25% year to year.

Combined maybe....but not here in MD where Giants is almost 3 Wegman's and Whole Foods are at 4....Safeway is at 2.5

so,,, you think 3% is too high of a profit margin?

That's It! Finally someone figured it out! Don't forget, customer service is a service and it does cost a few pennies more.

See, here's the rub about customer service costing me a few pennies....all these places with robocheckers - my grocery bill hasn't gone down one cent.
