So for my umpteenth job, I work at Uhaul part time (25-30hrs on sat/sun) and so this one costumer gave us his LP tank and told us to fill it while he went to the ATM. Now this other worker at Uhaul said it would cost him $12 to fill his 40lb tank to full. Now that LP is $4.15 a gallon (yes we use gallons and not lbs), it ended up costing something like 30ish. Obviously the guy who filled the tank was wrong, not to mention hes is really dumb and doesn't do anything unless the Army tells him to.

So the coworker left about 3 hours before the guy came back and when the gentleman did return, he became enraged that the price of the tank would be an extra $18. And by enraged I mean, verbally assaulting me and another person, trying to physically take the LP tank from me, although he was unable to. Me and him were basically squaring off for 15 minutes while the police took their sweet ass time to drive 6 blocks.

Guy ended up being on parole for fighting and drugs and was arrested assault and attempted robbery.

Cliffs:
Guy was misquoted LP tank price
Went berserk
Got arrestet

Interesting. The customer did go a bit too far but IMO had a right to. When I'm quoted a price I get pretty pissed when it comes up to be a lot more. Especially when you can't decide that you don't want it. This happens often with car repairs it seems, where a (supposedly) cheap and easy part was to get fixed and then all sorts of shit was done that for some reason can't be undone.

If you quoted him a price for a service, you need to honor the quote you gave him. SHould have taken it out of the dumbass's paycheck or something but you can't quote him one price and then charge him more than double.

YOu guys were in the wrong.

But of course, he didn't handle the situation well either. I would have told you to empty out the tank and give it back since you lied.
