I'm all for consumer action but not this way.
I never said that. What I am saying is that the supplier, if s/he is concerned, should exercise equal caution. This includes maintaining the equipment, &c. Why is it our fault that the pump screwed up?

this is intentionally attempting to steal
Didn't the guy say he informed the attendent?

Even if it were 1” inside it would still need to be almost 30-FOOT long and that’s assuming you could get it all out.

If we had ANY post pay gas stations, they would go out of business in about a week. NO ONE would pay for their gas, they would drive up, pump gas, and leave!!!!!!!

BTW,

Shawn made an excellent point here...

The reason that jimcol pumped 10 cents worth of air into his tank is definitely because the asshole that used the pump before him emptied the hose.

When you do the shit that jimcol describes, you're screwing the next guy, not the gas station.

Someone told me that if u go to the gas stations where u have to flip up the little lever handle up....well after you finish pumping, if u leave the handle up and drive off, the clerk inside still thinks your pumping gas...but then again, u could get caught with the cameras...

F all you assholes who would try any bullshit like this!!!!!!!!!!! Mother F'ers........like you would cost me money out of my paycheck. I paid my way through first couple years of college working at gas stations and it was shitty work, long hours and little pay. Having to deal with asswipes who drove off wasn't as simple as saying oh well........that kinda shit came outta my pay check. NOT APPRECIATED! :thumbsdn:
Well said!!! I had to pay my dues as well and worked at gas stations for meager wages. Had to deal with those A**holes who tried to cheat at the pump.

Anyone who tries this type of s*%t can't be trusted with anything. Who will they steal from next? Look out, they may try to rip stuff off your car. They probably steal from their grandmother's purse too.

Don't worry soopa... all of the "whore posts" were deleted, which is why it's down to 5 pages.
