Previously, I had written how I did not like gas stations that printed your receipt for you at the pump, whether you wanted it or not. That is still very annoying.
I found a gas station that apparently is annoyed at people who leave the receipts at the gas pump.
Because I ordered a car wash at this gas station, I wanted the receipt. So I did not get to see whether this station gave me the option of not printing the receipt.
On the other hand, maybe driving-off-without-paying incidents are rigorously enforced in that town, and the gas station just wants their customers to be protected against mistaken incarcerations.
“Show me a sign for good, That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed, Because You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me. ”
- Psalm 86:17
This little article thingy was written by Some Guy sometime around 9:53 pm and has been carefully placed in the Life category.
I think I mentioned this before, but my neighbor had a friend who was tracked down because they thought she drove off without paying. She didn’t have the receipt to prove it. I always get a receipt (you never know who is paying attention) and if the blasted machine won’t give me one, I drag the kids in to get one. A pain at the time, but easier than being deterred by an officer and trying to prove I paid for my gas.
I must say, you are thought of every time Jeff or I pay at the pump now and the receipt spits out. Yes, we take the receipt – always have, always will.
