About 1km away, another gas station in Block I of Yen Thanh town also hung a sign saying “out of gas”. According to the owner of this store: Because it is a holiday, the bank is also closed, we cannot transfer hundreds of millions to get the goods. The supplier does not accept cash, so tomorrow, Monday, when the bank is open, we can transfer the money so we can have gas to sell.
