Say what you will about Gen Z, but they have a knack for using levity to dispel modern-day stress.

Case in point: venture over to Sunoco of Halfmoon, an individually owned gas station in Saratoga County, New York, and you’ll find a sign that says “Want a discount? Show us your best dance moves.”

According to the New York Post, the idea stemmed from Paulina Sirtori, 23, the gas station’s social media manager (because gas stations need a social media presence, too!). 

“The No. 1 complaint we hear from people everywhere is that gas prices are just too high,” Sirtori shared.  “So we wanted to really do something to alleviate that a little bit.”
