I despise Sams and Costco with their one way pumps. There’s a line around the parking lot while other pump lines are empty. I go in the wrong way and fill up. It’s available and I’ll use the freaking thing instead of waiting 20-30 min for gas.

I like how pissed off people get when you honk at them for sitting at a green light staring at their phone.

Instead of thinking "oops, my bad" they get pissed at you for telling them the light's green and to move their arse.

I never use the payment machines at the pump. Don’t rust them and have heard about to many scams. So I pull up to the pump, establish the pump station, go inside and buy snacks/piss and tell the convenience person to charge pump 15 $30 as well while checking out


Seen a lot of videos of card skimmers on the reader at the register

Lottery tickets should be bought and paid for at a machine, not the check out line. Let them wait in a long line.

So you want to leave your car at the pump and go in and shop, but don’t want anybody else to. Got it.

This isn’t even a good troll attempt by you.

If it's a slow enough pump you can usually go in the store with it on auto and come out just as it's done filling up your tank. Of course this depends on how busy the station is and if there are other empty pumps. But there is a way to do this without being an inconsiderate a-hole.

What about the dudes gassing up their boats or pulling a trailer and blocking the entire parking lot

Go somewhere else then.

People have a right to do what they want.

And these things are common to gas stations; you should know that.

People who use pumps as parking spaces should be executed

If you don't want people parking there, then provide other shaded parking.

Trashy people like to hang out at the gas station. Have no idea why. They just loiter around outside, inside, guess they have nothing better to do.

I can't remember the last time I went inside just to pay for gas.
Tap phone to pump and pump.
I do hate people that park at the pump anywhere but Buccees(is OK when you have 100 pumps)

There’s a shell station near my house that’s easy to get in and out of. Their gas is known to be 3 cents higher than everyone else in town. I spend the extra 60 cents and don’t have to deal with the regular convenience store people.

ETA
I work offshore and the wife works a half mile away two days a week. We live in town. We do most of our town running in the golf cart. Grocery store, bank, pick up food orders, etc are almost all done on the cart. I do go buy beer at a store that’s frequented by trashy people. I really feel at home there, since I’m trashy adjacent.
