Anybody here get their gas on the rez along rt. 31?
There's this place called Gails. Since they opened last spring, they've never had self serve pumps. Always pumped it for you. Any time I didn't tip the worker I got an attitude or a dirty look.
Went there today to gas up the Tempo.....they got 3 rows of pumps. First row, closest to the road, is now SELF serve and is labeled 2.37/ gal. The sign on the pumps clearly shows the price and is very easy to see from the road. It appears as if ALL the pumps there charge 2.37/gallon.
The other 2 rows have a sign on every full serv pump that reads "tips accepted" and COVERS UP THE HIGHER PRICE of the full service gas.
The sign out front is nearly hidden and is very difficult to see as you drive in. It says "5 cents off for cash". Plastered on top of that in handwriting with a marker that is very hard to read from the road.......it does say "self serve". Read at your own risk while driving on that road!
You don't notice the difference in price until you have pulled up and the worker has already began pumping your gas. I thought I was paying 2.32 with cash. I actually paid 2.42 because I couldn't read the signs on the pumps that are covered!
It's not about the extra buck or 2 they squeezed out of me......it's the principle of the thing. In my opinion, this is dishonest. Isn't it illegal to cover up the price on a gas pump??
