Latest scam at the gas pump

[genxlib]

Stopping to get gas at the gas station closest to work this morning, I noted the price at $3.49. this was already about $.15 higher than a similar cluster of stations less than a mile down the road but convenience has its price.

But I pull up to the pump and there seems to be an error. The pump is showing $4.39 for regular. Assuming a mistake, I go insideto report what seems to be an error.

Nope. 90c price difference for credit. Of course they didn't have the decency to post that on the road side sign. Just hoping to fool some people who don't notice.

I called the clerk out on it but he was just mortified. Said he agreed. It wasn't him. It was the company.

I bailed and went to the cheaper station down the street and paid $3.25

I rarely use cash for anything but gas is probably the most obvious choice for credit to me. Primarily so I don't have to go inside. I like to fill up my tank to limit stops so it prevents two trips inside. I don't mind paying a small premium to cover the fees but this is just a scam.

I hope this station enjoys its little windfall. I have spent hundreds of dollars a year at that station which I will never use again. Screw 'em
