In fact, Exxon does not own any gas stations anywhere. Every Exxon/Mobil gas station is owned by a private individual, or 3rd party corporation. Since you work for a private citizen, and NOT Exxon, your complaint is with yourself. You see, you agreed to the salary you are paid. It's your own fault. As for the profits Exxon earned, they amount to 9% of their gross sales. That is pathetic. Most businesses operate on much higher margins. In auto repair, the bare minimum is 70% GPM. This usually gives the shop about 25% net. As you see, 9% is very low. You have no real complaint, but at least you were able to espouse your anti-capitalist views.
