Gas 90% Cheaper... would you do it?

[Demon-Xanth]

One of my dad's coworkers filled up for 5.7 cents/gallon for premium recently. Had the recipt to prove it

I would definitely filler up. Nothing dishonest about it, the price was advertised and the people took it. What this lady doesn't realize is if she hadn't have made that stupid comment to the public, I would have made her gas station my station of choice when gasing up.

I think most people are like that, if a business pleases them then the business can expect return customers until it fubs that up.

We've been gettin screwed for decades, what's one day of payback?

33 cents a gallon is closer to a buck 50, than $3.33 is.

To me this isn't a moral issue. They screwed up, its not like you're stealing from them (if a store messes up a price and doesn't catch it before you buy it then its not your fault, you didn't steal it). Of course we all know how that often turns out (at least for online stores), where the store has a disclaimer and doesn't honor the price. I'm curious about what will happen, if the station will honor it, or if they'll charge people the intended price. You know that none of them probably paid with cash since that'd tip them off about the price. However, I wouldn't because it would be a huge pain (long line, people acting stupid crazy trying to get it).

When someone accidentally offers a price that you know very well was a human error it is still highly immoral albeit not illegal to take advantage of. I wouldnt do it but I guarantee most people would, we have a lot of issues with character nowadays.

That's happened to me before, although to a lesser extent. Last summer during the $3.00+ per gallon, someone had mistakenly put the price a $1 less than it should for premium. I filled my tank up, walked inside and paid. Went home, got my girlfriend's car and did the same. But this was during the middle of the afternoon, with multiple people working. I just kept my mouth shut, and took advantage of their mistake.

Because the fucking guy that runs the station is not the one screwing you.

And the gas station owner is making only a penny or two per gallon on that 3.33

i'd fill up.

that actually happened around here, something similar.

i noticed when i was pumping that the price was going up very slow. then at 14$ my tank was full from being empty. I was like ????

but it actually did fill my wh ole tank up. i told a co-worker about it and he filled up too. then later that week my girl came to eat at my job and we filled her tank up for like $12 after we ate lunch. i filled up that day after work and then next time i passed by there was an orange cone infront of that pump.

Wouldn't help me, I have a diesel .

 

[Aharami]

It's a price mistake. I'd jump all over it like I would with any other price mistake by any other company

 

[rezinn]

I wouldn't actually notice, because I have to fill up when I have to fill up and the price doesn't matter.

Why not just siphon your neighbors cars then, I mean hell break and enter and steal some real valuable stuff.

People say shit about me here, but there are some real lowlifes above.

I'd probably only stop if I needed to.

Sometimes I want to put exactly 1.00 gallons in my tank and demand my 1/10th of a penny change. Then go on a rant when they explain they can't do that.

 

[Throckmorton]

No I wouldn't buy the gas
