Especially at the self-serve gas pumps. Somehow, the one I was using
this morning developed a problem. The pump display said $3.359 for
regular with the discount card. I used a discount card, got my gas,
and a receipt. The receipt showed that the pump actually charged me
$3.429 a gallon, the mid-grade price. I pointed it out to the clerk,
and she was really upset that the pump had been used quite a bit and
I was the first to catch it. There was no telling how long this had
been going on because only by checking the receipt would a person
catch this error. Granted, the difference was only 46 cents since I
only did $20 of gasoline, but it can add up. I did get a refund,
which was bumped up to an even dollar for “customer satisfaction”.
