Inspired by another thread: Would you tell a gas station that you got some uber cheap gas?

Ok, so you pull up to a station, put in your credit card, start pumping. You fill the tank and realize the charge is like 3.00. It is obvious they misplaced a decimal or something is wrong.

What do you do?

One time the people inside gave my gas to someone else. When I got to the counter the only thing they could do was give me the price of what was leftover (whoever got screwed basically). I ended up paying $5.67 for 11 gallons of gas.

More than likely they will figure it out. Fvck 'em.

self-service is illegal in my state. there's nothing I could do to take advantage of it.

if I were in another state, though, I'd probably just fill up my car and leave. for all I know, they did it on purpose.

I would probably just drive off. I know it sounds dishonest, but after paying $2.10/gal for gas, you get a little fed up.

Sometimes they do that on purpose.

And I'd consider it a blessing from God and move on.

yeah i'd probably get some containers and buy some more. but co-worker has told me that you don't really earn any money from selling regular. the snack shop is where the money is at. he owned a gas station.

LOL...dumbest law ever. I had to go to NJ this past summer for a wedding and naturally got out of my car to fill the tank forgetting where I was. This guy came sprinting over to me and got pretty annoyed at me. I had out of state plates so I played dumb :)

Can't fill your own gas? I hope you don't have to tip the fool too. What a dipsh!t law.
 

I'd fill it up and then call my friends.
Mabey fill up my spare shoes, empty cans and plastic bags in my car with gas too.
