Pump 'n Run Scalawags Hit B'port

The Scene: Wag-A-Bag #2, Oak Street, Lake Jackson. Consumers, mostly young males, are giving the clerk what-for about the high gas prices the last week or two. This is a Chevron outlet, across the street from the Lake II Theater (Elvis tribute acts, etc.), maybe a quarter mile from the Lake Jackson P.D. Clerk, female in her late 20s, is all, `Hey, I just work here' to the hostile clientele. It's getting worse, she says. Today, 2 pump 'n runners hit. Happening all over town, she says. One of her scofflaws was driving a camper-RV vehicle! "What can I do? Run after 'em down the street?" she says, hand on her hip. Hmmm, call the cops maybe? Call O.P.E.C.? The owner has to re-set the pumps to require payment before pumping. But he's outta town right now. Premium: $1.99/gal. (UPDATE:Premium @ Wag-A-Bag today, 5-18-04, now $2.079. Damage:$36.85 for 17.723 gallons. Doh!)RAIN REPORT:2" in last 24 hours ending @ 11 am Fri. 5-14-04
