The alleged journalism that I wrote about last week reared its ugly head last night... Besides reporting that we water down the fuel, they also said we pretend we've run out because we apparently don't really want people to give us money in exchange for goods.
Anyway, last night (Tuesday) being the low point in the weekly discount cycle around here, demand was up. And the delivery tanker was late. So we ran out of unleaded.
SC: "Stop pretending the pump's broken. I know you're just waiting for the price to go up because you don't want to lose money."
co-worker: "We really have run out of petrol, you're free to try it for yourself."
So the SC goes outside, tries the pump and guess what, it runs really slowly and stops at 13 cents... which is what happens when we've run out! On re-entering the shop:
"Nice try, but you'll be hearing from the ACCC."
OK, we'll show them the paperwork proving that the tanker was late and we really did run out. Maybe even show them the video of you being an idiot just for the entertainment value.
