Tanforan Shell station in San Bruno: "Your anger just earned you a car wash, ma'am."

The rising gas prices are really irritating people over in the USA - and people aren't shy of using this in some way when advertising. Allan1 gossiped about getting one of those $500 a month, free gas to drive a billboard car deals which might save your wallet. Now weekendamerica reports that the Tanforan Shell station in San Bruno offers "stress relief" where drivers can vent their anger against the oil companies by plunging a man dressed as a Shell employee into a tank - and free car washes for the best rant about gas prices: "Cashiers are trained to really encourage all forms of expression during the rant. Well, except for throwing a chair through the window."
Genius, this idea from Bobak Bakhtiari, "a former mental health worker" - could've sworn he was a former ad man. Check out the photos at they even have a rooftop band playing, while a Shell employee sits in the tank waiting to get dunked.

How are your cashiers encouraging people to vent?
If someone comes in and they're upset, we have this protocol where they confuse them by intercepting with really positive feedback suddenly. Let's say someone comes in and they're like, "What the hell is wrong with you? Do you see those gas prices? What's wrong with you guys?" and starts getting revved up. The cashier will typically say: "Great! Wonderful! Look," and just point up to a sign that says "Express Rant = Free Express Wash."

"Your anger just earned you a car wash, ma'am."
Exactly. Or "Your anger can earn you a car wash in few seconds, please step to the side over there." They're directed to guide them to the side of the store where they are monitored as they rant.

What's the price of gas at your station right now?
A gallon of unleaded is going for $4.87.

What? That's outrageous! How can you charge that? That's insane! You're crooks! You're criminals!
Excellent, I love this! Keep going with it...
