gwalchmai Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 This was forwarded to me by a High school nursery school friend, who I'll call Clem. "In ********* at (local QuickyMart) and we gave the lady 10$ for gas and the lady was post to put only 10 in gas and the pump went over 27$ in gas and we was nice enough to go back in and tell the lady that the pump went over and she told us that if we did not have the money buy the next day that she would call the police on us and I’m just thinking to myself every time I got gas I put the little metal thing up and it stop but this time it did not but i guess they needed the extra money but I don’t appreciate it." My opinion is the SemLem gets to eat the overage. Same as if they give me extra-large fries when I ordered small fries. My advice to Clem, as always, was "Take care yo ass, my redneck!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gave the lady $10 cash. Not a credit card. Not check. How will she prove anything if she does call the police? Video of register area showing her forgetting to set the cutoff for $10? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuteTheMall Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 If he went back in to advise the lady that she gave them too much gas, he has just admitted that he owes her money. If he just drives away smiling, he got more than he paid for. I only pay at the pump, never go into a stop & rob to deal with morons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he's advising her that she's left some product in his car and they need to discuss her rent. The meeting of their minds was that she'd dispense an amount of product for a price, which he paid. Now, me, I'd just pay the overage since it was an honest mistake and I'd probably be buying more gas eventually anyway, but maybe he's strapped and needs that extra cash for something important like butts or lottery tickets. Diff'r't Strokes and all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had the ability to stop the pump. He wasn't paying attention. Right or wrong, a lot of folks will engage in alternate behaviors like jabberjawing, geegawking, or rubbernecking when they should be monitoring their refueling ops, as you or I would be.

Batesmotel Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 We owned gas stations. The crap laws are in their favor. The fact is, he took the gas. Question is, will they push the issue that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not entitled to take more just because you can get away with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
