hahahahhahaha here's the story:

I saw a Getty in Beverly. Signs said $3.949 / gallon. Sold. I pulled up. And I glimpsed at the LED display on the 87 octane button. I briefly saw a 3 a 9 and a 1. Oh cool, I thought, it went down and they didn't change the signs yet. I popped in my credit card and started to pump. A moment later some asian lady came out of the station and started changing all the signs. She started putting 1's over the 4's so the gas read $3.919 now. A minute or so later I look back at the pump. I had only pumped like $3 worth of gas. I started tilting my head sideways thinking my polarized sunglasses were messing with the LCD screen. Nope, I thought, the LCD screen is broken and it's not displaying digits in the 10's. Then I saw it... The octane button did indeed have a 3 a 9 and a 1, but it wasn't $3.919. IT WAS $0.391. The asian lady hit a zero when keying in the new gas price or something. I finished up and got the fuck out of there.

Some guy in a pickup started filling up as I was leaving and he was looking pretty confused. I was hoping he wasn't going to say anything to draw the lady's attention. Total gallons filled = 18.481. Total price = $7.23

I'll definitely be hanging onto this receipt. I expect a call from my credit card company or something in the next day or so.

Oh, the stupid thing is that this was gas I was going to expense to work. But fuck me if I'm actually going to submit this receipt. In a way I just lost $7 and change instead of gaining $65.

haha I know. It figures, once gas becomes FREE for me, this shit happens and I end up losing money.

get someone else to buy gas and have them give you their receipt

I wonder if that lady caught the misake. Think I should tell them where to stick it if they get ahold of me somehow? I mean fuck it, I have the receipt that says "Price per galon: $0.391"

I wish I could buy gas for all you sexy beasts, but my work would definitely know. They already cringe when I hand in my receipts for my 100 mile per day commute. Rockland to Beverly, Beverly to Rockland. 5 times a week. They're feelin' it in the ass.
