I want to share a little frustration that I recently rediscovered and it goes something like this.
I pull up to the gas station to find out that the outside credit card machine is not working. I go inside to pay, I get this nostalgic feeling of having to change the TV without a remote.
Here is the gist of conversation
Me: I would like to fill it up.Clerk: How much?Me: All the way.Clerk: How much is that?Me: I have no clue, I just want to fill up the tank.Clerk: How much do you normally pay?Me: What does that matter, I just want to fill up my tank.Clerk: So how much do you want to put in?Me: OK, how about $2,000 just to make sure it’s filled up.Clerk: (They look at me as if I am some kind of smart ass.)Me: Fine just put $20 in it.
I normally don’t like to post problems when I don’t have a solution, but I am afraid I don’t understand how gas station payment systems work. There has to be a better solution.
