for reasons I can't fully understand he all of sudden appears around the opposite side of the pump between my little car and the pump.
Either he was looking for the blue paper towel dispensor to check his oil, or the squeegie to wash his windows....
I just had to speak to my wife about waiting around for the pump receipt last night.... only to have them accumulate in her purse and then get thrown out at a later date. Based on comments I've gleened on THR, I always press NO for "do you want a receipt" and very rarely go into gas station convenience stores (everything is much cheaper at the grocery store in case you didn't know).
In and out... ... CC in hand b4 I exit car... keys go into front pocket as soon as I stand up....swipe card and put it in front pocket... no fumbling with wallet... head on a swivel assessing all two legged passers by... always get gas on way home from work ... avoid the stations with a lot of bummy foot traffic.
One station is family owned and the grandpa or uncle is always hanging out learing and scowling at everyone who comes and goes. I stopped going there as I am tired of being looked at with suspicion and figure they must have quite a few problems if they need to post a watcher.
