2) Hugo Chavez owns Citgo.
3) The fact that they don't support their local university.
When I was working at the Chevron, the place only made about 3 cents per gallon on self-serve gas. Most of their money came from full serve or the garage. We never sold any "merchandise" for any university....just an old school service station. So, I would guess that most of the money the Citgo makes comes from stuff inside the store, and if they sell enough of it, then they won't stop. But, if people stop going there for gas, then they also lose the revenue that comes from those people buying cokes and chips while they are filling up their tank.
I heard the same. It's all about Chavez. I've been using the Chevron close to my house exclusively since the change.Quote:

And don't forget the Advanced Auto Parts store on Trenton that has proudly displayed their "We support LSU athletics" sign in the front yard.
This mentality of blind support for lsu is going to continue to keep Louisiana in the dark ages.
It's not by choice.Quote:

Their office is located in the house directly across the street from the Chevron, so write them a letter voicing your concerns or stop in and see one of them and tell them directly. I am sure they would be happy to explain their position to you.
By the way, I don't know why they are selling LSU merchandise but they are HUGE Louisiana Tech supporters and good people.
If the tiggers were 1-4 and we were 5-0, I can't see this as even being an issue.
There would be little demand for lswho stuff.
JOAKES ON US ! ! !
Exactly! It's as if people are scared of LSU. Maybe we should be with their enrollment going up and ours going down.Quote:

Fair enough, now, I DONT WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER DAMN COMPLAINT FROM Y'ALL ABOUT WALMART SELLING LSU STUFF OVER TECH STUFF. Some of you same people are the very ones who complained about lsu pics in the applebees. Some have blackballed applebees because they are a "national chain". Well, forgive me for hoping and dreaming that a Locally owned business could make a stand and support only the university 150 yards from its front door. I"m outta my frick'n mind for dreaming or expecting such a thing. Its all so clear now.Quote:

As for the Tech Drive Shitgo/Chevron, I totally quit buying Shitgo gasoline long ago because of Hugo. This is despite the fact that my family were wholesalers and retailers of Shitgo petroleum products for more than 75 years (pre Hugo).Quote:
