Occasionally I enjoy a good cigar. The only place where I can buy them close to my home is a a shell gas station.

Here in Holland they have the nasty habit of asking me if I want to buy an item they have a promotion going for at the moment. I never want to and I am always annoyed by it. I just want to pay for the stuff I do want and leave quickly.

By now, if I want to buy cigars I hesitate to go to the shell station. I do not want to be annoyed you know.

I buy my fuel at an unmanned shell station. There I do not get hassled to buy more stuff.

And today I realised something. Where I have limited choice when buying good cigars, I have a choice where to buy my fuel. There are two other gas stations close to the shell station I visit.

No more shell fuels for me!
