Now THIS is how you say βthank you.β π
A BP gas station in Southfield, Michigan just pulled off the ultimate good-guy move β selling gas for $1.99 a gallon on Sunday as a surprise for loyal customers who stuck with them through months of nasty road construction. π€π§
And no, your eyes arenβt playing tricks on you. That price is REAL.
ππ¨ Drivers swarmed the pumps after word spread, including Zrlina Hannah, who stopped for snacks and walked away with a full tank, and Dwaine Sledge, who drove all the way from Mt. Clemens after catching the story on the morning news.
π¬ Station owner Hassan Beydoun said the road work had been brutal, but his customers never bailed β so he and his family wanted to give back. βThese people arenβt just customers, theyβre family,β he said. β€οΈ
πΈ The smiles? The full tanks? The stunned reactions? Totally worth it.
In a time when everything feels expensive and impersonal, this little gas station in Michigan reminded everyone that community still matters. π«Ά
π TLDR: Stay loyal to your local spots β you never know when they might pull up with a gas price from 2004. β½πΈ
