I agree. I think there's more to this than we're hearing. I had a business law professor in college who spent an entire semester hammering on the point that there are always at least two or more ways of looking at any situation.
I've owned my own house tank for 15 years and have had no problem with the local Co-op filling it. Last July, I contracted 1000 gallons at $1.40 per gallon and they keep my tank full.
The tank by my shop is on a "call" basis, at whatever the price is.
A couple of weeks ago, there was a consignment auction that had a couple of 500 gallon tanks on it. I thought about buying one for my new shop that's still a work in process. I called the propane manager at the Co-op and asked him about it. He said he had no problem as long as I gave them the option of checking the tank before the first fill and installing a new regulator. Which is understandable. They don't want to accept the liability for filling a tank that might be decrepit and a danger to the person who owns it.
Turned out on the auction both tanks sold for within $100 of what the Co-op could sell me a refurbished tank for, so I passed on them. But as I said above, we may not be hearing the whole story on this or on others that have been recited. There shouldn't be that much animosity between customers and suppliers unless there's a reason.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
