If you're buying fuel between 7am and 11am there's two people working. Sooks.
The most convenient of enterprises in the SA market and you're all complaining how it's inconvenient. Talk about peak 2023.

Ill side with Jimmy here....
I mainly go at 5am so its not a problem, occasional minute wait whilst i wait for the one employee to finish of a coffee.
In saying that when i have gone in between 3:30pm-5pm. I've waited over 5 minutes to pay for just petrol whilst the one staff member makes a coffee, the other staff member makes a hot dog and the line grows. I dont get angry though, just take the 5 minutes to look at SAFooty on my phone or scroll the socials haha.

Coffee, fuel, sounds like a convenient one stop shop.
I guess we can't have everything our own way.

Stores in NSW, there are some stores across Australia that aren’t branded as OTR however are owned by Peregrine. Also numerous major sites along some of Australia’s busiest highways interstate that are leased out by Peregrine. Their spread is much bigger than the general public would know.

Having a close professional affiliation over a 4-5 year period I have a completely different view than many in SA. Good people and are very good at what they do. My guess is that there would be at least 2 major businesses/organisations that would be seriously shitting bricks over this news given the financial backing this generates….
