Dance for a discount: Gas station offers deal to customers down to bust a move

August 6, 2026

This New York gas station offered a discount to anyone willing to dance at the register.

In America, there are places where dancing is illegal, even if you are Kevin Bacon, but there are other places where you must dance to be able to afford to go to work. There are no in betweens.

Please I need gas to go to wor-

They say taking a firearm to a store gets you an extremely heavy discount

Discopia

Boil every small business owner

what if instead of getting a discount by busting a move at the counter, they got one for just busting.

I think that's illegal

Cowards, go full barter. I will come to your house and play you three songs on a mandeline for this big gulp and roller grill tornados.

Me: pls I have no songs for great halls and evil times

Guy eating tomatoes weird: you will sing and you will like it

More honest than capitalism, I'll do the dishes for a meal.

Imagine a vet with missing legs comes in in a wheelchair bruh. What then?

Laugh and kick him over

You get extra views on tiktok for that when he dances.

Can't do the worm? Skill issue, no discount

I parsed this wrong at first and wondered "why specifically a veterinarian"

Tbf that's a much more respectable career

I want to believe that they'd have just given them the discount so long as the promotion was going. If the vibes were right, they'd rib 'em a little bit asking for a little shimmy or do the sprinkler alongside them. If the gas station attended would do otherwise they would become Vibe Ganondorf and get eviscerated on social media

Doing the Pete Buttigieg high hopes dance in my wheelchair because I got my legs blown off en route to harass some kids in a neighborhood in Iraq so I can get a discount on my Steel Reserve 40s.

Macarena?

I had entirely forgotten this...

Macarena is about a wife cheating on her husband with two of his best friends while he’s being deployed at the military. Yes, I Am Not Kidding.
