Gas Prices

[txab]

It's been around for a while. It suddenly has taken off virally  on facebook. Enough people have finally posted a bunch of links like these and it's slowing down Like the guy I referenced that I wanted to immolate, he was screaming at the attendant that they were ripping everyone off. He was calling the cops and everything. Cops said they weren't coming out for what he described, but they would come out and trespass him if he didn't calm down

The easy solution is to always get a recipe. Then you know you completed the sale. I sure you know that.

Gas dispenser give out recipes? Wonder if they've got one for chocolate pie.

 

I owned and operated a full service station in the 80's to early 90's, so yes I understand that. We started out with the mechanical counter dispensers that we had to show the price of fuel at 50% and put signs up saying you were going to owe double the shown pump price. Thos mechanical ones wouldn't allow for some of the high prices we experienced. Eventually upgraded to 1st generation of electronic dispensers. Which were still primitive compared to today

I remember the old slide recipe with carbon paper. My first job after getting my license was pumping gas at a Getty Service Station in NJ. I worked there for about 4 months before my father hired me to be a fueler and greaser at his company. He would never take us to work. I had no idea the size of his company. Only because he didn’t want us to be exposed to the language. I was shocked at how my uncle’s and father spoke on the job.

Seems like half the stations everywhere don't print out receipts anymore, either broken, out of paper, and they want you to come inside. NOPE. I just wait for the "Thank you / Come Again" screen on the terminal.

Yeah, they are too lazy to keep em going. Plus it is an expense. I generally stay away from locations that historically have busted equipment. I kinda like my receipts. I wouldn't want recipes from most fueling stations.
