REPOST- Gas Station Pet Peeves

Gas station pet peeves:

  1. Different prices for cash and credit sales. It’s the 21st century. Get real. This is an insta-drive-off if I notice in time.
  2. Card readers at the pump that don’t work… but don’t tell you until you swipe AND put in your zip code. Pretty sure I’m getting scammed.
  3. When I ask for 8 gallons, and the guy rounds me up to 15 dollars instead of $14.50. Shoulda said no.
  4. The card reader in front of the glass booth doesn’t work. Now I’m certain I’m getting scammed. Guy runs the card on the interior of his little booth instead.
  5. When I put 8.1 gallons in the fucking car for $14.70 and the pump tells me to go get a refund. Fuck that.
  6. The fact that I felt guilty after OVERPAYING FOR GASOLINE. WHY?! WHY WOULD I FEEL GUILTY? I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS WRONGED!

Anyways I tried a different gas station on my way home and it didn’t totally work out for me. Technically it just hit pet peeves 2-6 so in all honesty a worse gas station experience does exist, at least on paper.
