A business like yours isn't panic buying IMO. If you don't have gas you don't work. Pretty simple.

That’s why I put panic in quotes.  I  mispelled it cuz I’m dumb, haha.  

But yeah, I don’t regret it a bit.  We’ll definitely run through it if it was not warranted.  Heck, I may even buy more if I can get the cans.  I’ve got a neighbor that has 4 or so of the nice metal ones and he happens to be moving cross the pond and selling everything off.

Slightly funny story.. while asking my neighbor if he still had his gas cans I forgot he had the metal ones.  I text him “how much per”.  He comes back with 25.  I was thinking he had the plastic ones.  I wasn’t sure to text back that he can go [BLEEP] himself, shove a spout up his [BLEEP] or not reply.  So I asked him if they we’re already full.  My way of saying go screw yourself.   Then it dawned on me he showed them to me a few weeks back and they were the good ones. And as it turns out... a couple have gas in it. Idk if  I’ll buy them or not.  If this is a week thing I’ll be good.
