I mean I used a credit card so it was just a question of how long I had to argue for a partial refund... what should I have done? edit: oh I was misleading... I paid before we started pumping via credit card... not after the pump was complete. | ||

1. Asked to speak with the manager. 2. If he was the only employee there, go back later and ask to speak with the person in charge. 3. Never stop looking for some kind of customer support you can report this to. 4. Gotten the employee's name and some kind of Employee ID number. | ||

Cause it's sunday and I don't want to have to get gas in the middle of the work week if I can avoid it. Also, I can alternate between 89 and 93 octane to save a bit of money since my car needs 91 and I can't get 91 at most gas stations around here. | ||

Usually you can get a refund pretty quick and easy. But if it seemed like it would take a good bit of time via arguing...I'd just let it go since it's <$10 and never go back to that station in the future. Not really an amount of money getting worked up about. | ||

A) never left the proces alone so really B) would not be an issue, but if it ever was B) tell the gas station my adress and drive off and tell him that we cacn discuss this at a later time | ||

If you weren't in a rush to get out of there, I would have been the first person to ask to talk to the manager. Given being pressed on time, however, paying is better than driving off. Given the fact that he had this "powder" (or whatever) on hand, it sounds like he knew this would be an issue. I almost wonder if there was already a puddle there from the previous customer when you drove up. | ||

I assume you fill the tank to full when you can, if there was air in your tank enough to be an actual problem which it wouldn't effect the gas pumping by how the mechanisms work, also your check engine light would have came on by then if you were already at half tank. | ||

You definitely got screwed over, but all in all it probably wasn't it worth your time to argue over it at that point... not exactly sure where you'd draw the line, it all depends on how valuable you consider your time to be in proportion to the monetary cost. Also a bit surprised that the tank was able to overflow - I didn't think that was actually possible, given the auto cutoff. | ||

But then you go on their website to look for customer support, ponders about the ethical nature of your ecounter, and blogs about your incident. Sounds like the typical nerd afraid to stand up for himself (in person). I would have refused to pay the spilled amount by either taking it up with someone higher up or just leaving - it's completely the gas station's fault. | ||

you should have gotten out and yanked your card as soon as you saw that shit. those guys are notoriously scummy people and retarded too, spilling gas all over your car, putting in regular when you ask for premium (does wonders for your fuel injectors...) time to restore to the karmic balance between you and your gas attendant: Take only $10 cash with you and tell the guy 'fill it up with $10'. Because he's a greedy dumbshit, he will hear only the fill it up part. when he comes back, give him the ten, remind him that you're the person he tried boning when he fucked up and drive away laughing like a maniac! also, i feel bad for you poor, poor people who have to pump your own gas. just another thing we do better in jersey i guess. | ||

Basically I'm a scared nerd if I don't refuse to pay and run? Doesn't even matter since I prepaid with credit card... | ||

But you paid for it, so I suggest why bother with the refund process, since it may put you through a lot more frustration. Just think you did some favor for an immigrant. | ||
