Taking that at face value: does the “to save $2 on gas” part apply at that point, though? I imagine if you’re waiting an hour for gas at Costco in Seattle rush hour, the other gas stations are near-equally saturated. Because the crux of the meme is clearly that the drivers are at the Costco when they could go somewhere else with a substantially lower wait to the point that $2 is meaningless in comparison.
(But also, if they are idling, then they definitely shouldn’t be regardless of what station they’re at. That part is obvious.)
I don’t live in Seattle, but the Costco locations near me also regularly have long queues. That rarely happens at other filling stations. There isn’t a shortage of gasoline currently; it’s just expensive.
Depends on the area and time of day. Seattle rush hour you fuckin bet you might be there an hour
