1st things 1st. Whoever designed this format to force people to give a star to a business that doesn't deserve any is a complete moron. Yesterday, I had stopped by to get gas. I had only $18 in my account but only intended to purchase $5 in gas. I went inside, conducted the transaction with what was at 1st without incident. When I returned to pump the gas, the screen was saying to insert card or make purchase in store. I pressed the help button but no response occurred. Assuming it was a minor error, I was walking back to the store but met the cashier at the door as he was flirting with a girl in the doorway. He made eye contact with me and put his hand up indicating he knew I was coming back to for to try the purchase again. I confirmed and announced "Yes on pump 9." I went back again and same results. Now I sense if I go back inside, a conflict is likely. In effort to avoid conflict, I attempted to pay at the pump. To my surprise, it accepted the card when normally if there's a low balance, it instructs user to see cashier. Then, I attempted to select grade but the button wouldn't make contact and it was unable to engage. So I hung the pump handle back up and cancelled the transaction on the keypad. I decided to try a different pump. I drove to opposite side to pump 10 and went inside to try again. This time, the card declined. I explained to the cashier that this would be a serious problem bc I had no other option to pay and he said wait a few minutes and try again. I did but it was still unsuccessful. I explained that I had no way to leave without any gas bc I was barely fortunate enough to coast to the pump. He began to comment that nobody was trying to steal money from me, for which I replied that I am not accusing anyone of anything. He continued to be confrontational which intensified to a shouting match. He then threatened to call the manager which I encouraged him to do so. He put her on speaker phone and immediately, she decided that I was in the wrong based on his version of events and ordered him to call the law. I also encouraged the idea bc regardless of who was right or wrong, the fact remains that I am unable to remedy the situation due to the uncontrollable circumstances that my car was out of fuel, and out of money as a result of his incompetence. The deputies showed up, I gave my version of events and they went inside to get his. They came back and helped me out with $10 of gas. The immediate problem was resolved and greatly appreciated but the incident continues to be a major problem bc I intended to use the remainder of my assets to purchase a Mother's Day present but due to his serious lack of professionalism and furthermore, the faulty equipment at the pump, I am still unable to access my funds that were unreasonably taken from me read more
