It's "Tight-Arse" Tuesday once again, and that means my morning was spent dealing with all kinds of idiots.
For starters:
SC: "It's Tuesday, I thought petrol was meant to be cheaper."
Me: "It is, today we're at $1.31, yesterday we..."
SC: (interrupting) "I saw it yesterday for $1.27."
Me: "Well yesterday WE were at $1.33 so OUR price IS cheaper than yesterday's."
SC: "I should have filled up there. I SUPPOSE I'll pay for what I've taken from you" (yeah, because paying for your fuel is optional...)
Also a lot of:
SC: (faux angry) Why does your board say $1.25 but the pump says $1.41?
Me: That's because $1.25 is the price for ethanol and you got premium.
SC: (body language says "oh bugger he saw through my plot to get free stuff")
We have an automatic car wash and manual car wash bays. If you buy $20 or more of fuel, you can get $1 off the price of an automatic wash. This leads to:
SC: "I got $40 of fuel, give me $2 off the car wash."
and:
SC: "I buy all my fuel here, my $1 discounts should have added up to a free car wash by now."
and:
SC: "I got $20, where's my free car wash token?" (tokens for the manual wash cost $1 each)
Also:
SC: "If I promise to buy all my fuel here, can you lower the price by ten cents?"
We accept three kinds of discount fuel vouchers. One gets you $0.04 per liter off for up to 150 liters, the others get you $0.06 per liter off for up to 30 liters. It seems to be only on Tuesdays that people try to:
-use expired coupons
-use coupons we don't accept
-use multiple coupons on the one sale
-use $0.06 coupons for amounts over 30 liters
-present the coupon after the sale has been finalised (in one case, two hours after)
Also:
SC: "Can you sell me yesterday's newspaper for half price?" (No, I'd rather get $1 back from the newsagent than lose 50 cents selling it to you)
and:
SC: "[other store] has this on special, give it to me for that price."
If you're that much of a tight-arse, why not make some money by shoving coal up there so you poop diamonds?
