Dear fuel dispensers,
October 4, 2006
Why is it that when I’m adding a controlled amount of money, say $10.00 worth of gasoline, into my vehicle, the counter which displays how much I’ve added slows down at $9.50?
Is this a punishment for prepaying? That I have to stand there and wait twice as long? Is this some sort of cruel retribution for not filling the tank all the way, but rather deciding on my own how much of your overpriced fuel I’m willing to purchase?
Could it be perhaps that you want to make sure I’m prepared for the flow to cease? That you need to slow everything down in anticipation for the final drop? No, that can’t possibly be it. Why? Because no matter how fast or slow you’re allowing the flow to move, IT’S GOING TO STOP AUTOMATICALLY AT $10.00.
