Gas station rant
Well I went out to put some gas at my Local Exxon on the run gas station that I go to very often... I always fill $20 when I am at about 1/8th tank to get to around 1/2... As some of you may know new jersey is one of the only states where you do not fill your own gas, but have a worker do it for you... Anyways I tell the guy as usual $20 93 octane... and I wait... after the machine has rung for the filling to be finished the guy comes back and I always ask for receipt for 2 reasons 1 being work related and other being to check how much was filled and of what...
I get my receipt back and it says REGULAR 87... 6.8 gallons filled... I am like ok WHAT THE [****] the guy proceeds to tell me that the machine printed out the wrong receipt and that he really put 93 octane in my car and he tells me it has been doing it all day... I am like Oh so you really filled less than the 6.8 gallons stated on the receipt he tells me yes as the 93 octane is more expensive I am like ok fill $20 more 93 octane... I do this to check his bluff about the machine not working and this time the receipt printed out correctly 93 octane 6.2 gallons...
I go in to talk to the manager about his employee lying to me... and filling my tank with unacceptable gas for my engine mind you I have an srt with even lower compression, let alone even the n/a crossfire 91 octane is recommend for... I tell the manager what happened to me... and I tell him I will not pay for other people's mistakes and WILL not pay for the 87 octane put in my car... he says I must pay and that mistakes happen or he will call the police... I am getting heated and I tell him fine call the cops...
Cops come I tell them the story basically cop replies with lying is not a crime, but not paying for gas is... I tell him fine take out the gas from the car I do not want it... officer refuses to comply with this and proceeds to tell me mistakes happen and if I have a problem with it to proceed to civil court...
In the end I comply... go in pay for someone making a mistake, than lying to me, and putting my engine in danger... Welcome to UNITED STATES...
