Pet peeve #473 If your gas station is equipped with pumps that allow you to "pay at the pump", then for the love of all things holy, please give me a reciept at the pump. I paid at the pump because my kids are in the car and I didn't want to drag the baby out of her car seat only to go in, pay for gas and then fight with her to get her back into the car seat. It makes no sense to swipe my card, pump my gas and then get a message that says, "For receipt, please see cashier". Well dummy, if I had wanted to see the cashier, I wouldn't have paid at the pump! Grrr Thank you, and have a nice day!
The cashiers don't always know when the pumps run out of receipt paper, until someone like you gets that nice little message. :mrgreen:
I guess me and Jen are the only ones who have to go inside and tell the people, because I seem to be the one with the empty TP roll too!:x
I was at Don Lee's last night. They don't even put paper in their machines per the cashier. You must come inside for a receipt. THAT's why I was irritated, lol...
What in the world? You drive all over the stinkin country for work - you may need those receipts if you get audited someday! (won't you?)
I don't deduct gas I deduct the mileage. :mrgreen: DO you know what mileage is now? :hurray::hurray: I only traveled 40 bazillion miles. :?
That's true, I never bother to get a receipt at Don Lee's - or anyplace else when I get that message. Some gas pumps ask if you want a receipt, and I press "No." It's just another piece of paper to clutter up my pocketbook.
I always try to get a receipt when I pay at the pump, since a gas station sent the cops after me claiming I didnt pay (I DID have a receipt in hand, proving I HAD paid). Those messages p-ss me off that you have to go inside to get your receipt ...
I always use my debit card, and if I don't get a receipt I will forget to write it in my checkbook for sure. HATE it when the paper is out. The other day I went inside and the guy said "Oh sorry it was too cold to go out there and put more paper in." :evil:
i have a theory that they purposely do not put paper in to get you in the store in hopes of you buying something else.
