Kum & Go is such a dirty name.
Buy junk food so we can give a shit for a limited time and penny pinch at the same time!

I love seeing Kum & Go on social media because no matter what the discussion always turns to the name. I live in Colorado and they are everywhere around here. But they are probably the nicest gas stations we have here.

Loaf n Jug is pretty funny! Also I love learning about grocery and convenience stores so I’m psyched they have wiki article. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaf_'N_Jug
Where I live we have a ton of hilarious Pho places and of course the best one is Pho-King, pronounced Fucking.

It’s a gas station. Do you expect them to be selling filet mignon and lobster thermador?
jet@hackertalks.com 2 years ago
The two week old ceremonial fruit by the register is also a option.
downpunxx@kbin.social 2 years ago
does anyone even know what a thermador is
cowfodder@unilem.org 2 years ago
The lobster is removed from the shell, cooked in a wine and butter sauce, then stuffed back into the shell and browned in the over. Often cheese is melted over the top.

The charity navigator ratings for the organization that runs the no kid hungry campaign don’t look terrible
infyrin@lemmy.world 2 years ago
The problem isn’t the charity, it’s the restrictive way a business handles charity donating.
Why a quarter? Why these select brands? Could’ve done so much better.
jet@hackertalks.com 2 years ago
The business exists to make money. That’s why it’s a business. Having a code donation scheme with a charity is just a way to let people incentivize extra purchases.
If people simply didn’t buy those items and just donated directly that would be more efficient. That’s always an option

They probably had to negotiate with the brands so the brands could cough up 10¢ of that 25¢. Only certain brands agreed.
Hank@kbin.social 2 years ago
What's the deal with the up to 43k?
intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 years ago
The people who wanted to divert money to charity had to negotiate with the people who didn’t, and there was a meeting where they said their fear was if it went too far and cost them too much.
The 25¢ is probably more than their profit on the thing, so they’re probably hoping to spend money and gain long-term customers.

UK companies do this. They get big tax cuts for doing it, worth more than they ever donate. Its a disingenuous cunt move imo.
FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Sounds like a broken tax system then…
UnD3Rgr0uNDCL0wN@lemmy.world 2 years ago
They do the same with agency staff in places like healthcare. Makes it look like they’re paying over the odds but they claim back loads on government subsidies, tax breaks and grants. All the while charging more and more for the services they claim to provide.
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 2 years ago
Same here in the states, they only donate because then they don’t have to pay that money to taxes. They don’t give a shit about whoever the cause helps, it’s just a PR move for them

This just seems kind of nice. Why does it infuriate you?

Your honor I didn’t mean that! I was just trying to fill up some kids mouths and bellies… Wait… Nooo! Damnit, not like that!

I went to Colorado Springs a little while ago and had to do a double take when I saw that a gas station was advertising that as its name. Absolutely blew my mind when I realized it is a huge chain there.

They started in 1959, and are from Iowa. K&G is okay, but Maverick is far better in every way.
canthidium@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Yep all over here and most of CO in general. I’ve seen a few in Arkansas as well.

People who name gas stations are different from you and I. There’s one in L’Anse Michigan called Dick’s Pump and Munch
