The gas stations on Ft Bragg (with the combo fast food restaurant, convenience store, and liquor mart) are the worst designed I have ever seen.
65,000 acres of post and they put them on a tiny lot that would make a high density suburb designer cringe.
If you wonder why they are always out of gas, the brilliant designers of said AAFES Gas/Grease/Grog and Grocery marts installed tank farms with tiny little underground tanks. They have to be refilled as many as three times per day, instead of 2-3 times per week like the off-post stations.
Finally, the soldiers and family members on Ft Bragg are also the worst I have ever seen for leaving the car at the pump (while dozens wait for a free pump) and wandering in the store to meander about for a while and window shop.
I wish they would reinstitute the credit card only pumps again. Before I go into the store and start dragging inconsiderate bitches out by their hair.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
