The Relationship Between Poor UX & Lost Revenue

Went to my local gas station/carwash this morning. Not my favorite place to either fill up or wash my car, but its easy-to-get-to location and combination of the two services make it a popular destination and give it a significant competitive advantage.

The story with this place is the same as it is in most towns: Premium gas prices due to a wash on premises. They're always a few cents more than competitors just a few miles down the road in either direction because the nearest wash is ~5 miles away.

Alas, their point of difference is also their Achilles' heel.
