“There are few places left in American life where strangers voluntarily submit themselves to order. We cut each other off in traffic. We crowd boarding gates before our groups are called. We abandon shopping carts six feet from their corrals. Civilization, most days, appears to be held together by little more than painted lines and the increasingly optimistic assumption that people will respect them. And then there is the Sam's Club gas station. Here, amid the smell of car exhaust and the low rumble of idling SUVs, humanity somehow remembers how to behave. Cars enter. They form neat, orderly queues. Drivers wait their turn. When one vehicle finishes, the next advances. No negotiation is necessary. No committee oversees the process. Hundreds of people simply look upon the situation and silently agree: Yes. This is how we shall do this. It is magnificent. There is something almost moving about watching three or four cars patiently line up behind a pump when another lane appears momentarily shorter. These are people who, elsewhere, may disagree on virtually every question confronting mankind. Here, however, they are united by cheaper gasoline and the sacred principle that the person who arrived before you gets to go first. The directional lanes help, of course. Civilization has always benefited from arrows. And perhaps that is the true genius of the Sam's Club gas station. It asks very little of us. Present your membership card. Choose your fuel. Wait behind your fellow humans. Do not descend into barbarism. For several beautiful minutes, surrounded by concrete bollards and gasoline fumes, we succeed. Five stars. Not merely for discounted gasoline, but for providing evidence that the social contract still exists. It may be fragile. It may be dying everywhere else. But beneath the enormous Sam's Club canopy, the queue endures.”

“I just had a new set of tires put on my car in Springfield, IL. They were SO BUSY but the gentleman manning the desk was so curtious and hard working, I thought that he needed a shout-out. His name is Jordan and no, I am not his mother! So hard to get good help anymore. He deserves a raise!”
