Where in the heck are you buying your milk? Is it imported from Switzerland or something?

I work in the dairy department for United and we sell gallons of Red River for $3.39 and run 2/$5 sales every 6 weeks or so. Now, the gallons of organic stuff, yeah, it's about $5.39 for Horizon-type brands. Personally, organic is just a big scam. You're actually getting less since there's no chemicals involved but you pay out the rear for it. I hate organic anything. It makes my job much more difficult than it was 5 years ago.

Actually, the diesel nozzles are too large to fit into regular gasoline vehicles...they try to make it idiot-proof. I went on a field trip when I was in Elementary School and the Principal was driving the bus and since diesel was so much cheaper he thought it would be better to use regular unleaded and the bus would run smoother...epic failure.

These days the diesel nozzles are the same size as the gasoline nozzles. I don't know why they changed them to be the same. Must make it hard for an aggie to get fuel now :D

Doesn't organic last longer thought? That's worth the extra bit to me, because sometimes I go through a gallon a week, then the next takes me a month.

Truck stops are about the only places that still use the big nozzles. I love those. I can fill my truck in just a couple minutes. But most all places except truck stops have gone to the small nozzles now. But they are always green in colored, and most folks should be smart enough to know the difference.

Well, this is true, but usually where I tank up the nozzles are larger. I drive a diesel so it isn't a big concern to me.

I've honestly never paid it much mind but thinking about it, yes, we've got milk in our vault that doesn't expire until June.
