Radio and TV announcers are continually suggesting we boycott BP gas stations as a protest for the catastrophe they created in the Gulf of Mexico. And I certainly want those BP executives to feel the wrath we Americans hold by hitting them in their pocket book. But I also have a dilemma. For 40 years I have purchased gas at the same station and know the current, as well as the past owner, very well. He’s a nice guy and I would feel guilty taking my business elsewhere.
But yesterday when I discussed the problem with a friend she advised me that the small gas station owners are not to blame. Furthermore, it would be a shame to deprive them of their normal business. Her words eased my conscience and so, although I am very angry at BP, I will not stop trading at my local gas station. I just hope some other way turns up for me to demonstrate my fury at BP.
