"You are greedy"

[edible_hat]

We were more expensive than the place up the road, so I was having a quiet morning. Until this SC showed up...

SC: "You're more expensive than up the road! Lower your price now so I can fill up!"
Me: "I can only change the price when my boss tells me to."
SC: "You are greedy!"
(keeps grumbling while going outside to fill her car, then returns and throws $50 at me)


the price difference? One fifth of a cent.

Unless their is a large price difference I will not go far out of my way to get gas. I do my best to avoid getting gas in Connecticut since i work in Massachusetts and live 1 mine from the MA border. CT Prices today 3.17 - 3.25, MA prices today 2.95 - 3.05.

i hate the "do it NOW" kind of mentality
they remind me of children saying "mommy gimme candy NOW!"

[bainsidhe]

So it begs to ask, did you throw the change back at this jerkface?

There was none, but I did look some daggers at her.

Anyone want to bet it was some idiot in a Hummer?

and you are lazy; if it's such a problem for you, DRIVE THERE INSTEAD.

really; price matching gas? won't happen, but please, do hold your breath; i need some amusement.

Before this turns nasty, let's all keep the politics out of it. It's about an idiot bitching about gas prices. Anything else, take it to fratching, OK?

Just the other night, I had some idiot in an SUV (not trying to sound like I'm slamming the owners here folks...) scream at me about gas prices. Apparently, I'm an asshole since my Corolla gets 40-45 mpg, and I pay less than she does. Uh, newsflash...I pay *exactly* what you do per gallon. Sure, my total cost is less, but I pay the same price. Needless to say, she stormed away over that

Well it sort of does happen, sometimes the boss will tell me to change the price because "were 2 cents higher than John" (owner of another station in the area) or "things are slow, let's lower it to bring in some customers" but not on a random customer's say so.

(but yeah, go there instead if it's that much of a problem. We're not always the cheapest and I sometimes go to the competition... my loyalty to my employer is limited to doing the job he pays me for)

Ethanol blended fuel is cheaper here and it gets better economy in my car (not in all cars)... for regular to be more cost effective for me it has to be 8 cents a liter cheaper (which does happen sometimes, at different places that don't offer ethanol)

Working at a small, privately owned gas station, the prices are only going to change when management/owners say so. That's how it used to go for me.

And if we didn't lower our prices before or at the same time that Holiday or Kwik Trip did, BOY did I EVER hear it from customers....

Mine is a '98 Jeep. She HATES Ethynol like the PLAGUE. If I put a single gallon of the stuff in it drops my MPG like a brick in salt-water and it takes me forever to get it all out (I don't like to have less than half a tank at any given time). And considering the price of gas as of late (is it up or down this nanosecond?) I'm seriously considering buying a motorcycle/scooter. Even WITH crappy weather.

I chose to get an SUV that gets about 17 city 20 highway. I knew it would cost more to fill than a smaller car, and I dont't bitch about it.

Im embarassed to say that I miss, miss MISS my Grand Cherokee gas hog, even in this day and age of gas prices.

I just don't like the small car I have now. I'm an SUV girl, through-and-through...gas prices be damned!
