What happens when a gas attendant puts more gas in your tank than you asked for?

[Postman]

And you don't have enough cash to pay what was put in.

No credit cards either.

Are you liable to pay when you don't have enough cash?

[Pierre.Suave]

1. Tough

they cant really take it back, but the employee did make a mistake.

I do not have any idea what the law says about this, if anything at all. Maybe leave some collateral and come back with more cash to pay the difference?

I do not know. Sorry.

[PeaceNikki]

2. Gas "attendant"? You must live in one of those fancified states that has them.

No idea.

[pokerfan]

3. It's against the law in Oregon

to pump your own gas.

The gas attendants must have a powerful lobby.

[PeaceNikki]

4. Do you tip them?

:shrug:

[pokerfan]

7. No and I've never seen it

Especially with these prices plus the premium to cover their wage, I think if one of them stood around with his hand out he'd be more likely to receive a punch in the nose.

[Midlodemocrat]

19. New Jersey as well.

[NJmaverick]

20. It's against the law in NJ, also

Not sure who really gains from this law.

[madinmaryland]

26. Why is gas cheaper in NJ than the neighboring states?

Less taxes??

[NJmaverick]

28. I think it has something to do with all of NJ's refineries

but I am not 100% sure.

[lost-in-nj]

35. I do

it means I don't have to pump gas in the rain or snow!!!!

:rofl:


lost



:hi:

[SacredCow]

23. For real?

I haven't seen a full-service gas station since I was probably 10 years old....

[pokerfan]

30. Who said anything about full service?

They just pump the gas. You can check your own oil , clean your own windshield.

[SacredCow]

32. Okay... Half-Service then.

That's just bizarre....

[CreekDog]

25. what's funny is that I didn't notice that Washington's self-serve gas was any cheaper

and of course, California's wasn't either. (way up north, like in Redding)

[pokerfan]

29. Extra state taxes, I think

Washington is one of the states without an income tax so we tend to make up for it by taxing everything else.

[CreekDog]

31. and since Oregon has no state sales tax, but WA and CA do

the price before taxes in WA and CA might in fact be lower than in Oregon.

AFAIK, CA applies BOTH a states sales tax AND a state gas tax to gas sales.

[Wcross]

5. I guess you could drive around the station lot until you have burned the gas?

That way you don't leave with more than you paid for.

[DS1]

27. Too funny

[Blue-Jay]

6. Punch him in the nuts.

[Kixel]

8. Best Answer

You can never go wrong with punching in the nuts.

[flvegan]

9. What if the attendant is a woman, you sexist pig?

:P

[Blue-Jay]

10. Punch her in the vag!

[DS1]

14. c*nt punt

[JVS]

18. Then we revert to normal protocol for female gas attendants (we never pay them)

duh

[JVS]

17. Right through the car window. Don't even get up.

[Chan790]

11. I would say no...

I mean I'm not allowed to up-size people's beverage at work without asking and then charge them more for the larger size. I would think the words "put $6 in." is an enforceable verbal contract for exchange of goods. He can put $25 in if he wants...I'm only giving his ass $6 for it.

[Skittles]

12. what's a gas attendant?

:o

[mzteris]

13. what's a gas attendant?

:rofl:

I haven't seen one of those since the early 70's!!!!

[Orrex]

15. Beano should eliminate that excess gas

[RebelOne]

16. I thought gas station attendants were extinct.

[TommyO]

21. Not in New Jersey and Oregon!

I prefer self-serve, however I get my gas in NJ whenever driving that way because it's fifteen to twenty cents less a gallon than it is here in PA.

[Gormy Cuss]

24. Weird, isn't it?

Gasoline in NJ tends to be cheaper than NY state too. So much for saving money by doing it yourself, which was the original pitch for self-serve. Someone's saving money but it's not the consumer.

AAA average estimate by state as of today (www.fuelgauge.com) has NJ @ $3.87 per gallon for regular, PA @ $3.98, and NY @ 4.17. Oregon is at $4.10, WA $4.15 and CA $4.25

[yellowdogintexas]

22. I just want to know where there actuallly ARE gas attendants in this day and

age?

[Shine]

33. what is this "gas attendant" thing you speak of??

:shrug:

seriously, they don't exist anywhere 'round these parts anymore.

speaking of gas, we went outa town for the w/e. 600 miles R/T....we spent $150 on gas!!

The most expensive gas we paid for was $4.89/gallon!! :wtf:

Unreal.

[NewYorker83]

34. In NY

We have full service stations.... I had this happen to me once but the attendant admitted I had said 10 and he put 15 in... I got 5 bucks worth of free gas.....
