Reply to comment by Generic_Commenter-X in Re: Vermonters' reputed attitude toward out-of-staters by newsandseriousstuff

I do think this is generally where out of staters go wrong. There isn’t convenience in Vermont, and to expect it and get angry when you are inconvenienced is a sure fire way to make your life worse.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not an easy adjustment, but it’s not something that’s going to change so you need to adjust

I almost ran out of gas in a vermont backwoods at night thinking there’s got to be an open gas station around here, and nope that’s not a thing

Most places near me leave the pumps on at night for CC purchases

I don't think that's legal? I think someone has to be there to shut the pumps off in case of fire. I could be wrong though.

This reminds me of a couple winters ago -- one of the early transplants was a New York guy and he moved to Montpelier. My mom was there and saw the woman behind the deli chatting with a neighbor who came in. New York guy started getting really antsy, jumping back and forth. And finally he said "God, screw this state. This would never happen in New York" and left.

My mom and all the other Vermonters just laughed. That's not how we do things, my dude.
