Some questions: Is this operation a marketer and a retailer or just a retailer? As a marketer he should be getting his fuel prices every day from his supplier, even if they change or not and maybe more then once a day. Thats the first thing you watch being in the fuel business.

If young people they need to get out of that business anyway if not watching the operation any better then that. You knew things were not right and you are not in the business.
