I pullified up to the pump, got out, did the whole credit card swipe thing, and then hit the gas button I wanted. I accidently chose 90 octane premiuim, but it was so fricken cold, I didn't want to redo the whole process with my bare hands exposed anymore, so I said fuck it, I'll buy the premium.
Standing there for a while freezing my balls off, I look at the pump to see how much longer, and it's only up to like a dollar something, and I'm like son-of-a-bitch! Are you kidding me?!? I'm freezing here and this pump is slow as hell.
Then I'm looking at the quantity, and it's chuggin' along like it's almost done, then I'm looking back at the price, and the quantity, and the price... wait a sec. How can it be almost done pumping and it's still like 2 bucks? I'm missing something here.
Then "kachung" the pump shuts off, cuz my car is full, and it's a $3.15. Waa?
Then I look at the tiny LED above the 90 octane button, sure as shootin' says 0.20!
I get in my car, and I'm sitting there... do I call my son to come fill up his car? And Gatinha?
No, I went in the store and told the clerk, who was restocking chips, and she shit a brick! "Are you serious?"
Yeah, on the premium.
"Oh, thank God it's the premium. No one buys that shit." But she ran behind her counter to call her boss mumbling "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God."
