00:01what could have cost them $500,000 in early March
00:06could now cost them $1.5 million.
00:09They've got to find an extra million dollars to buy their fuel.
00:11So there's been real pressure on fuel retailers right along this.
00:15And they're trying to service their customers
00:17and provide all the products that they need to.
00:21So there's been an increased demand.
00:23It's like moving deck chairs around.
00:27People are playing chess.
00:28They're trying to keep inventory up and available for their customers.
00:32So it's been huge challenges.
00:34I had a retailer get in touch with me on a good Friday morning
00:39saying he'd work 30 days straight
00:41and he's working about 18 hours a day.
00:43So they're trying to do the right thing.
00:45They're under huge pressure trying to manage inventory,
00:48manage their staff and manage their drivers as well
00:51who are under huge pressure as well.
00:54So it hasn't been easy for the fuel retail industry.
00:58But we're soldiering on
00:59and trying to do the right thing by our customers.
01:02So there's a little shit behind it.
01:02So there's a few shoes on
01:04And I tried to do this for the next steps for the next section.
01:04And I'll do this for everybody.
