    In the Rochester area we have four BJs Wholesale Club, we happened to patronize the one in Webster. You cannot imagine my surprise when shopping in the Henriettas area we noticed that the member's price for gas is $.20 less than the one in Webster where we happened to pay the non-member price advertised in Henrietta. By the way the BJs igas pump n Webster is no longer available for non-member.
    Considering that we are paying a membership fee, I do not feel very logical that we have to pay non-member gas price. I do undestand that price war exist between gas station but I still feel that if one is paying a membership fee to belong to a club this should not a factor.
