I've seen pumps that play ads while you're pumping or idly play in between customers but This is some next level shit. It'd be one thing if the place was offering prices that were like... 50+ cents cheaper than the competition. Wouldn't think its okay but you could at least infer that thats the cost of cheaper gas. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I hate it when I get the the pump ready and everything just stare wildly at nothing happening because its asking if I want a car wash or to save 5 cents a gallon by getting a credit card

https://www.marketplace.org/2018/11/20/most-expensive-and-least-expensive-gas-stations-america/ Is the worst gas station in America. They are in Orlando preying on people trying to avoid paying the ridiculous car rental return gas prices (as high as 9+ per gallon) so they charge a massive price per gallon and hide their sign and you only see it after you park in front of one of their pumps are you are getting ready to drive to the airport (and you are crunched for time). You could have driven a mile further for a reasonable gas price but you had no idea what was happening because they hide their sign posting their bas prices such that it faces dirt behind their station (while still fulfilling the legal requirement). Its basically organized crime. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I still find it amazing that people can't do math or think it so useless or too complex to do. Shit, reading this topic I think its funny that there are people who are convinced you have to fill up every single time and can't just drop a $5, a $10, or a $20, say fuck a full tank and just take back off and hit the road again. Personally I have better things to use the money on instead of filling up every single time. --- Number of Mega Cookies given: (::::) 32 *Tips top hat, adjusts monocle, and walks away with a cane.* And yes, that IS Mr. Peanut laying unconscious on the curb ...
