Cars line up for $2.99 gas in Epping | Local News - WMUR Home
......On Saturday, the Next Level Church in Epping stepped in to help alleviate some of the drivers’ pain.
"I love it. I think it's great," said Bonnie Fallow, of Raymond.
"This was our opportunity to show the people in this community that we care about them," said Lead Pastor Joshua Gagnon.
On Saturday, the church bought 3,000 gallons of regular gas at the current price. It then teamed up with a local Sunoco to sell the gas for $2.99 a gallon.
"That's a good gesture by them. It's going to help people around here a lot," said Greg Champoux, of Raymond.
"It's wonderful. It's awesome. I seen it on the news last night, and I told my kids, ‘See, when people give back, good things happen,’" Fallow told News 9.
Cars lined up, stretching more than two blocks as word spread about the event.
"I'm glad I got here early," said Karen Drelick, of Newmarket.
"We expected a lot of people. I don't think gas has been at $2.99 for some time," said Gagnon.......

Walmart Caught Shortchanging Customers Using Gift Receipts
Walmart Caught Shortchanging Customers Using Gift Receipts:
Walmart's slogan is save money; live better. But you could actually lose money if you return an item using a gift receipt. Karen Anderson reports.
Sure go ahead and regift that present your friend bought for you at Walmart, but whatever you do, don't return it. The world's largest retailer is apparently slacking off on giving full refunds to customers with gift receipts, at least according to a recent report by CBS Boston.
When a producer from the network attempted to return a TV originally purchased for $248 using a gift receipt, she was only able to get back $228 -- the unit's new on-sale price. A cashier told her simply that the register "will just generate however much [the original buyer] paid for it,” even though in this case the original purchase price was higher. This is far from the first time such allegations have been made against Walmart.
Last year, the same CBS affiliate aired similar reports that Walmart was shortchanging customers on gift receipts. The confusion may have to do with the simple fact that such receipts don't show how much money was originally paid for an item.
Consumer advocate Edgar Dworsky says he doesn't think Walmart is perpetrating the scam on purpose, but the retailer clearly has a problem on its hands.
“The best scam is when you don’t even know you’ve been taken,” Dworsky told CBS Boston....... MORE: http://ow.ly/gY8hq
