Your NAFCU Weekend Reading Pile
Compiled by Anthony Demangone. Powered by NAFCU
On our way back from dropping off a kid at sleep-away camp, we needed some gas. We stopped at one of those gas stations that have a fast-food restaurant and convenience store attached. I wasn’t expecting much.
Well. They had rocking chairs out on a front porch of the store. They had a gazebo over on one side with chairs and a table. There was an area for pets with disposable waste baskets and a fountain for water. The convenience store was wonderful. They were selling fudge and freshly-baked goods. The bathrooms were clean as a whistle. The staff was friendly.
I think every stop along the highway could be like this, but very, very few are.
Food for thought.
Now, on to this week’s reading pile.
