Maybe it’s “Assistant to the Store Manager “?

But seriously, that’s only a bit on the low end, unless the person has a lot experience, then it’s probably very low. On the other hand, aldi stores are much smaller and simpler than a typical supermarket.

Wow I’m old. I remember going to the store for my mom. It was always Drakes bread, because it was 32 cents. Town Talk was 35 cents. The three cents made a difference. Confession: sometimes I bought Town Talk, because they were … ahem..”out of “ Drakes.

Fun Fact: For a number of years, Town Talk and Wonder Bread were the exact same bread, produced at the same factory, with the same recipe, with just a different wrapper. The Town Talk brand was too iconic in Pittsburgh to retire, so they continued to label it Town Talk in the Pittsburgh Market and Wonder Bread elsewhere.

At one point they had some sort of combined branding IIRC. Something like "Wonder Bread by TownTalk".

My point is there are quiet places that don’t have gates. The poors won’t bother you. Lawn service doesn’t start until 8:00am. The druggies sleep til noon.

It's a myth that stations barely break even on gas. There is absolutely profit to be made on gas. The markup is typically 10%. Apply that to a $75 fill up, that's $7.50. That's before expenses, of course. But there's very little labor cost in selling fuel vs MTO.

Then there's the convenience store business that is driven by having gas. If I need smokes and gas, I'm only going to want to make one stop.

Honest question... what is the advantage of a "gated Community"? Most of the housing plans don't suffer from random traffic driving through, or even "undesirables".

There used to be several Sheetz in the city, including 2 in Lawrenceville (across from Iron City and at Penn Butler and 40th.) I think they closed because this sites were too small to support the type of stores Sheetz was moving towards.The main reason Sheetz doesn't have any stores in the city is there just isn't much suitable land for them. They probably require 2+ acres, near a major intersection, easy access in and out (ie,dedicated left turn lanes), ability to get a ton approvals from city and state.

EDIT: Butler and 40th

DLC charges are what DLC charges for transmission and distribution (basically maintaining the infrastructure). You can choose who your supplier is- it doesn't have to be the default supplier for DLC customers. That's what the supply charge is.

No matter who your supplier is, the bill comes fromDLC, and they will bill for the third party supplier.

If you have a paper bill all of this should be explained on the back I think.
