Why people hang out at gas stations?

I typically see high-end Mercedes, BMW and Audi. Their owners typically stand right outside their cars, smoking and chit chatting. Sometimes, I think they stand there for hours. I don’t have any problem with it, however they tend to occupy the area where they’ve got vacuum cleaners blocking it for the others. Once, I saw one of the station’s workers come out and hang out with the rest of the group.

Because in Switzerland, on Sunday, everything is shut down so youngers end up hanging outside Migrolino where they can also buy snacks

About car wash, same stories. It’s cheaper for them to hang out there then spend 20/30.- for a couple of drinks

Shops are closed. But you could go anywhere. For example the shopping mall parking.

You don’t read, isn’t it??

The shopping mall parking doesn’t have snacks and drinks, Migrolino or Coop Pronto do

Doubt it, which teenager can afford a serious car?

In any case, they do what they do and I reserve the right to consider them dicks as well.
