Takoma Park, Maryland — Depeswar Doley has come up with a quip for the confused, and sometimes irked, drivers who stop by his longtime gas station while trying to buy gas.
Donning a bright smile and blue-striped RS Automotive shirt, he tries to disarm them with a chipper: “Give me the money! It’s almost my lunch time!” That often nets a friendly expression as he explains, again, that heavy-duty electric plugs are all he’s got.
