Love's Doesn't Want To Sell Us Fuel

I live about 2 miles from a Love's Travel Stop and drive by it every day going to work. For the last several weeks they have had the best price around for fuel...or so I thought. I had stopped going to Love's, but it was hard to resist the price. I pulled in and confirmed what I saw about 2 months ago that there are no diesel pumps at the normal islands. The only diesel pumps are the 4 lanes for the big trucks. It was light traffic this morning and one lane was open so I said "why not". I pulled up and saw a sign that said "To protect from fraud, pay at the pump is not available for Visa or MC." Then there was another sign that said that there was a $.06/gal surcharge for credit or debit. What a bunch of junk! I guess they decided that the small amount of fuel they sell to pickups and other diesel cars wasn't worth their time. Just a year or so ago they had added a diesel pump at every island so you didn't have to wait in line. What gives? I went on down the road to QT and bought fuel for the same price and had to wait in line for the 4 pumps they have there. Has anyone else had a similar experience with a Love's near them?
