Those centrally located payment stations. They suck.
I try often to get gas on the cheap at the am pm at the intersection of Junction and Washington here in Roseville. I do not think I am of below average intelligence, and I cannot seem to make those idiotic things work properly. "Please swipe card and enter pump number." Yes. I have done that. Several times. "Card read error. Please see cashier." Well, you see, I do not want to drag three kids out of the car just to pay for gas in 100 degree heat. Now, bear in mind I am actually having an audible conversation with this machine. Even the freaks who hang out at this particular am pm (and they are fairly substantial freaks) are eyeing me with something akin to concern.
So, I drive to Safeway and am rewarded with my three cent gas discount, in addition to my twenty cent discount for spending fifty bucks on food for the troops. Yeehaw!
It's April, say what?

1) It is already April. How this happened I do not know. I will probably
say this again on May 2nd as well. 2) I haven't been writing here. I enjoy
stating...

HA! :-) So true.
That gas station infuriates me.
The "see cashier" more like, "see me leave." My little orange dream machine likes to get it's drink on at the Club. (Sam's). If I hit that one, I am on fumes. Our gas options pretty much stink on this side of town.
Have you ever been ripped off by the ampm cash machines. I used one in Davis, Ca and it took my $5. The manager denied that I had put $5 in and when I told him that he must be lying, he wanted to call the police. I said go ahead and we can settle this, but he never did. I never got my money back and will never use their machines again. I would rather pay more than deal with an AMPM
