Default Full Tank (Premium) for $7.78 :D

Guess what just happened to me? LOL
My tanks on "E", so I go get gas. I pay the guy $9.00.
I go to my car select Supreme (Premium) and start pumpin'.
It's about a minute already, and I look at the pump, and it's only at $2.25; Im like "wtf...".
So Im standin' there, pumpin' ... Pumpin' ... Pumpin' ... It's now like 3 minutes, and I look over a second time, and it's at $7.50 only; Im like "whaaaat the f-, slow-*** pump!"
Then it suddenly "clicks". Im like "what!?" So I keep pumpin', and again "click". So again, I keep pumpin' and it keeps clickin', and Im trying to get to my $9.00, friggin' pennies at a time now; "click", "click", "click" ... Suddenly it friggin' TOPS-OFF, spillin' gas out the car! Now Im really like "WTF". I mean, HOW???
So I clean it up, and go get my change, 'cus I didn't even get the full $9.00 worth. I go back to my car, and start 'er up, and all of the sudden my gas gauge goes "woooooop ^ " right to the top.
I think to myself, "wtf??" ...
Now, my car is in perrrfect shape, theres no way my gauges are broken; there just isn't. So I decide to head to my mechanics place for a quick question about what this oddity could possibly be about (it was on the way to where Im headed anyway), and I notice that my car "feeeels" heavier; so Im like "No way, its definitely not the guages; I totally have a full tank of gas."
Quickly, I look at the receipt, to verify what it said, and DUDE ... Their pump haaad to be broken, 'cus I just got 20 gallons of gas for under $9.00!
$7.78 to be exact - Supreme!
How awesome it that??
This is the best start to a day I've ever had, since having a girlfriend. (Although I do have a girlfriend; her names Marie, and she's a gorgeous Lexus SC300 in Black w/ a Tan leather interior ... Once you go Black you never go back).

Somebody's going to get fired, if not fired already...

They probably meant to input $3.99 a gallon instead entered the decimal point to early and became $0.399.

Congrats But come on you had to known you were getting more then you should of, you can feel the gas when your pumping, happend to me once did i keep pumping? No.

Im not sure how it works where your at but that mistake is going to be on forever untill the place catches it or someone notifies them about it. Dosent your pump tell you how much your putting in? Strange story and you didnt have a clue you were getting a full tank? Very odd.

Anyways, I miss when gas was 1 somthing a gallon, I wasnt able to even drive then or didnt own a car but i bet it was nice.

Dishonesty, in any form, is not condoned on this site.

The store owner is making VERY little money at full price, nearly all goes to taxes on fuel. Stealing from any business is theft.

I'll attach this here in case anyone in NY/PA/NJ cares to call the store owner and tell him his honest hard working business is being ripped off and his kids are losing food out of their mouth.

Karma's a b*****, let your conscious guide you.
