I know everyone is equal, no matter what job you have... but seriously, some gas attendants are just worthless. I've seen them spill gas on my car many times, it can't be that hard to do a simple job.

Maybe you should pump your own gas from now on if it's that important to you?

Window down I ask for a fill of premium (93 here). He goes about his thing, I fiddle with the G and S settings while I fill up and think to glance over to see how many gallons I'm up to. Much to my surprise I'm up to 10.9 gallons ... of 87.

Just as I see this it clicks off cause I'm full. I ask the guy if he filled it with regular :

Guy: yea.
Me: I asked for premium.
Guy: <blank stare> I can , ah, give you one of those booster things?
Me: ... No, forget it.

Annnnd scene.

I know it's one tank and it won't hurt anything but fuck, man, YOU HAD ONE JOB!!! ONE. FAAAAAAACK!!!!

Top it off when I get home my pho didn't come with any hot peppers. I love those things.

Goddamnit.

Is that there one of those there fancy states where you can't pump
Your own gas?

Dude I can't even find a station that will actually pump gas for me. Seriously!

But in all seriousness don't go full throttle everywhere and you will be fine for a tank.

I'm always afraid of this happening to me. Luckily for you, it's not illegal to pump your own gas there.

It's just a fact of life here in New Jersey though.

_______ · 03-12-2014, 02:34 AM

Yeah this has happened to me a couple times. Living in NJ every station is full service so i get annoyed sometimes that I can't fill my own tank. Luckily when it happened to me I wasn't filling up so I was able to get 93 somewhere else to balance it out a bit. Once you burn about half or so fill it up with 93.

Gas prices are going up here... paid $4.15/gal the other day.

Do you guys have to tip?

Maybe I can give some input on this rant. I have a part time job at a gas station since I'm still in High School. To be honest even if you tell the attendant to fill it 93 hitting 87 is a force of habit and sometimes we make mistakes. I take careful measures to make sure I don't spill gas on people's cars but we are all human and mistakes will be made. Oh and I'm freaking tired of people with Audi's BMW's etc getting 87 octane gas. I mean really of you can afford a 50,000 dollar car you think you could spend the money to put the proper gas in your car.

I hear ya. We all make mistakes and that is completely understandable.

For me, yesterday, it struck a chord and I came to the Internets to rant. I'm sure he's not a bad person. Although for me, last night, he was a bad gas station attendant.

You think they own those cars? You think that the normal Audi/BMW/MB driver is an owner of their vehicle?

Most people who drive German luxury vehicles lease. So they couldn't care less what they're putting into the car. They're going to return that sumbitch at the end of the 2 year lease period anyways.

Also, a lot of the BMW drivers I know can barely afford their lease payment.
