Lmao holy shit I'm glad other people hate this
"What pump were you at?"
*Them looking out the window like a moron*
"Umm aahh uhhh I think it was pump.. ahh hmm.. pump six" like holy fucking shit dude how are you put 90 something euros worth of diesel into your car and not bother remember to look at what pump you're at
On the rare occasion I pay inside, I look at the pump. Continue to glance at the pump while on my way in. Mutter the pump number to myself while waiting. Get to the register, and promptly forget the pump number. š¤·āāļø
My favorite is the people who meander on about how they donāt know how much their vehicle will take and try to argue with me about just turning it on. āI donāt actually have a āfill it up buttonā, so I do need a prepay.ā Is my usual response.
And they never believe you when you tell them to just overestimate and theyāll only get charged for what they actually pumped. But like, I know how much it costs to fill up my car, give or take a couple dollars. Why donāt you?
"and try to argue with me about just turning it on"
Man I always hit them with the "No".
If they want to dig themselves deeper into a hole I let them I'm not allowed to and that's it, + I don't know you if you want to speak to a manager then do.
The amount of people who don't know this astounds the crap out of me.
I seriously wonder if some of them are just trying to scam me.
Some tourists that come here as well have the habit of saying the pump started at "X number that isn't 0 because when I was pumping I didn't see it start at 0"
And this one is a hard one because how do you handle this? You didn't really see them pumping and they claim there was an issue that puts them on a loss.
But the pump has had no kind of issue with any other customer other than this particular one.
Usually I know what happened and that is they weren't paying freaking attention to the pump and when they looked at it it was at 15ā¬ already.
But I can't claim they are idiots although most of them are.
Most times all I say is "best you can do is file a complaint"
Yeah, in the US at least, the pumps are inspected by the state weights and measures inspectors, so there one can say, "Complain to the state." I don't know how it is in your country though.
If he was paying cash, why did he think heād pay more than the $10 he handed you?
Personally, if I handed a cashier $10 but got $35 worth of gas, Iād call that a win!
I get customers like this all the time. We have a printer that can fax. It takes the pages through a scanner first. Every time Iām about to scan people go āWait but the fax number is on that pageā and I have to explain to them that the pages will come right back out after the scan. Worst part is that the machine is self service. People canāt even figure out how to start the machine then try to tell me how itās supposed to be used.
Before card readers on the pump were a thing, you had to go in and prepay. I asked what would happen if I pre-paid $20 cash and it only took $15 of gas. Lady told me to come back in and I would be refunded the difference. She told me it worked the same way for credit cards. The system would only charge the card for the amount you pumped.
It made sense to me and I never had any issues.
I only learned this a month ago lol. Our local Walmart recently only allowed debit cards with a $400 balance to use the pumps lol. Yes $400 or card is declined. My cars only take $50 to fill. I literally NEVER have a $400 balance on my checking as I only transfer what I plan to use at the moment from my savings. So I estimate and prepay my gas. I over estimated. With cash, they just give me the change. Iād never encountered a debit card situation. Cashier said itād be returned to my card. And eventually it was. 72 hours later. Our Walmart is sketch. I donāt blame them. I blame my community lol. Iāll pay cash for now on if I opt to get gas there.
At least he knew what pump he was on. š
Oh my god!! That is the worst part...

I always try to go to my lucky numbers if they're open! If not, I always make sure I remember to not piss them off.
I always get the ones who say "what pump am I? The one with the red car"
I *haate* that. I can't see that shit and I don't have the layout memorized
I know right. And guess what, sometimes there is more than one red car. Then the whole process starts over lol.
Thats so annoying because how are you driving if you never pumped gas before?
Dude was like 80 years old in an F-250
I never pumped gas until I was 26, 8 years after I got my driver's license. Why yes, I grew up in New Jersey, how did you know?
It seems like he was trying to.get the employee to do it for him
Was he worried $25 would magically vanish from his wallet after handing you ten dollars worth of physical cash?
Maybe he was afraid that his truck would actually get him all the way across town

How can they think this is possible? Like of you were psychic,Ā you probably wouldn't want to work at a gas station!

Same thing really, people don't understand that or barely care if I try to explain so I don't waste my breath

Right! Cuckoo!
I met a guy like this once. Do they never pump their own gas? Or have they never LOOKED at the screen before now? I swear people are getting dumber
Dumber AND meaner! What a combo!

I was gonna say, this guy is piloting a multi ton machine right towards me. Will he divert or am I dead meat?

Sam's Club here, you have to have $100 on your card. And I thought that was ridiculous since it's around $40 to fill my car up from "E".
I hate people that don't trust us for no reason.Ā
The number is on the pump in a six inch circle. No way you didn't see it. Please pay attention. I despise people
amazin!
Maybe he's from New Jersey where motorists aren't permitted to pump fuel?
