This is what an SC said when I informed her that she was not allowed to use a lipstick case to wedge the trigger on so that she could leave the pump going while she sat in her car and yakked on her mobile. Well, it also doesn't say, "Don't put the nozzle in your mouth and drink the fuel" but most people have the common sense not to do that!

Our pumps have a feature that holds the pump handle down on its own if you engage it. Then again, that feature involves an automatic shut-off. Trying to do so with a pump not designed for that could be disastrous. What ever happened to common sense, anyway? Oh wait...almost forgot what forum I'm on."And though she be but little, she is FIERCE!"--Shakespeare

The lipstick case was also made of plastic, meaning that if (when) it snapped under the strain, the nozzle would fall out of her car and hit the ground, resulting in a definite spillage and a probable damaged nozzle. Plus the possibility of an innocent customer being injured if they were hit by the falling nozzle.

It's people like her that are the reason the pumps around here have the catch-all "DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED" warning, though, she'd just say it wasn't unattended, her lipstick was in charge..........- They say nothing good happens at 2AM, they're right, I happen at 2AM.

... Would never dream of jamming a gas pump handle like that, that's just a disaster waiting to happen.

What do you want to bet that her oh-so-important conversation mostly consisted of something like this: "I know, right? So anyway, he was all, whatever, and I was like, UH-UH! And he was all like..."When you start at zero, everything's progress.

Quoth eltf177 View PostAnd do you think Miss Yappy would pay for spilled fuel or the costs involved in cleaning it up?
Quoth notalwaysright View PostBetween the lipstick and the woman, I think the lipstick would have done a better job.Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

When I worked at the Convenient, a woman pulled a similar stunt and went inside the store to use the restroom. She disabled the automatic shutoff in the process and by the time anyone realized what had happened, there was gas gushing all over the place.
After the MOD hit the emergency shutoff, she figured out who the customer was and let me tell you, she ripped into this woman up one side and down the other. The first thing she shouted was, "Are you a fucking idiot?!" And it just got better from there. She charged that customer for wvery drop of gas and made it very clear that we could have called the police and/or the fire marshall. It was beautiful.Thank you for calling Card Services, how may I take your abuse today? ~Headset Hellion

Several others who did the same thing got really irate when we had the adacity to charge them the full amount they "pumped".I'm lost without a paddle and headed up SH*T creek.
