Mad About Gas? Dunk a Shell Employee

Sareye
What if a gas station manager offered you a free car wash if all you had to was rant about high gas prices for 20 seconds or drop a shell employee in a dunk tank. Find out what customers at a California gas station do when offered this opportunity.

    • Quite cooling and refreshing to smile while watching this pod. You kept us entertained and amused. You used your edit cuts to increase the humor with well planted responses from the general public. Good job!
      Well done on getting the general public to get involved with sharing frustration about the US economic situation. Maybe we could hear from the cashier from behind the counter. I'm not 100% if this type of behavior would encourage the decrease in public displays of anger.
      Dunk tanks, however, provide regulated release of anger in a more cooling atmosphere !
      Peace,

    • Very cool to see through a gas station's point of view. I will refrain from yelling at my gas attendant from now on and give him a hug. The gas problem is too complex to yell at the people that offer gas. Make some more interviews, Sareye!!

    • I like that the owner is trying to alleviate some stress in his customers' lives in a fun and creative way. I also think it's funny and a bit frustrating that people continue to drive even as they feel the need to rant at station employees. I wish people would find for creative ways to get around buying gas rather than ranting. Biking and walking let out a lot of energy! (Public transportation, on the other hand? Usually cause for even more ranting.)

      Great video!

    • It's an interesting question...does ranting about the problem alleviate some of the tension? Does it accomplish anything substantial, or should the rant be taken further?

      This gave me some things to think about...thanks for posting!

    • i feel bad for the shell employee who is on the receiving end of the rant. also, he should give away free gas instead of car washes. that would make people happier! very entertaining and informative!
