    “Do not use phone while refueling”

    Right under a QR code 😂🤣

        Worked at T-Mobile for like 5 years, you really don’t know how plausible that kind of statement is.

          Former VZW rep here. Not only is it plausible, it’s a weekly occurrence.

          My favorite was the guy who didn’t want to switch to an unlimited calling plan because that plan didn’t have free nights and weekends and friends and family calling.

          Now I’m not sure if that will sound as stupid as it really was. Does anyone even remember getting billed for phone calls?

            Since I don’t have more than 10 friends or family that I call, it was more cost effective not to go unlimited.

              But both plans were the same price! At least in this guy’s situation.

        Admit it, you missed 10.00 and are convincing yourself that 10.01 is better.

    In my country, most station also come with a keypad just beside this screen, which you can set the exact amount you wanna pump

    In Canada you have to prepay and set the maximum amount of fuel you want, so this is “every time I dont set the max to more than my tank can hold” for me.

      What happens if you overpay and can’t fill up the full amount?

        Our gas pumps dont charge until the pump is stopped. The prepay is a ping on your account that basically reserves the funds after checking you have them, and then it let’s you pump, and only withdraws what you use.

    I stop at the litre. They don’t give rewards points for partial litres so fuck ‘em, I only want $19.47 in gas.

    Then putting the pump back in the holster jostles it just enough to add a penny.

    I love how gallons has three decimals now so it does not look like the price moves faster than the volume so much.
