Gas Station Peeves
No matter how hard I try I seldom ever am able to get the pump to stop on the right dollar amount, the pump always manages to throw in an extra cent or two.
The washer fluid they provide to customers is always too dirty, the windows look worse then before I started.
It seems like whenever I go to pump gas there is some dolt who can't figure out how to turn on the pump. How do people like this get by in life?
I can't stand people who will pump gas while smoking or on a cell phone despite the fact that there are signs all over saying not to! I usually wait till they are finished, I'll remain intact while they get the pleasure of looking like Freddy Kreuger. Burn baby Burn! Cool, the gas station carries marshmellows and chocloate; SMORES!
It also galls me to no end that people will pull right up to the front door, usually a no parking zone, and block access to building for everyone else. It's also bad for the employees since they can't properly see the gas pumps.
Why can't these places make a fresh pot of coffee every now and then?
I'm wondering if you all think that gas stations have the worst customer service when compared to other types of businesses?
Gas stations have terrifying bathrooms, please clean it up Jethro!

Ah, but the reason for all that is simple. They're owned by the republicans.
LOL!

I photographed comedian Lonnie Shore at an event a few weeks ago. He was a riot! One routine he did was about those dots that Indian women have on their foreheads. He said that contrary to popular opinion they have nothing to do with religion. They are, he said, merely a part of the Indian lottery. Once a month the country reveals the winning numbers and the women scratch off those dots on their foreheads to see if they're the winner. If they are they get a 7-11 or a gas station in the U.S.

Whoah Walter, relax! He didn't invent the joke and I believe you bough Indians into the conversation.
well, how about the IDIOTS ...
well, how about the IDIOTS that drive off with the gas cap hanging??!!
I always wonder if pumping gas was so much of a job that they couldn't finish it. I mean really, after you replace the pump back on the stand, you turn around and put on the gas cap, right?! and THEN get the credit card receipt!! I wonder how many gas caps someone had to replace for those whose gas cap ISN'T attached to their car and drove off with it on top the car, LOL!!!
You're right rkinne about ...
You're right rkinne about the dollar amount. I pumped gas today and was trying to stop it at 20.00 but noooooooo it went to 20.02 so I said heck with it and said I'll pump 25.00 but again 25.01..geeze
And what is this about gas ...
And what is this about gas being cheaper if you use cash or more if you use credit? Funny, gas stations never charged us like that before the cost of gas went way UP..
I guess they didn't get ...
I guess they didn't get that memo here in MI..lol
I don't know about that ...
I don't know about that Walter - it could be up to the owner. Think about it, they have the right to tack on a bit more per gallon if they really wanted, they ARE the one selling it, and ARE entitled to make a profit if they can.
We have a place up here that will give you 5 cents off per gallon if you pay in cash. I'd love to do that, but I rarely carry cash - I use my credit card for the airline miles.
OH, on a side note - gas finally went down again, another 5 cents off - we're at $4.32 a gallon now.

I paid 3.79 today down the road here from work...What a deal..
