Stopping to fill up with gas and the pumps has cars parked like they are filling up, but some never get gas.

They will pullup by the pump, arse around a few minutes, head into the store and return to the car with an Orange drink and a moon pie. WTF, all the while I’m waiting to get to the pump & think they going to “prepay”.


Park in the general parking a-hole.

You should probably let your husband pump gas and drive for you.

i hate how much interaction with the pay at the pump interface there is now. Try to tap, doesn't work, insert card, ask for zip, do you have a loyalty number, select grade, think for a few minutes, start to pump then inevitably get the slow pump thats going at .25GPM.

That's an overreaction. Get in and out of the store before it becomes an issue. If you're not getting gas, park in general parking.

Yeah I hate that sh*t. It doesn't bother me if there are 10 pumps and 2 vehicles there, hell sometimes I will do it then. It pisses me off when there are folks waiting in line for gas and somebody leaves their car at a pump while they go buy scratch offs.

This seem to be a common frustration when in Louisiana. WTF is y’alls problem? Are gas stations that crowded/packed this is a big issue?

I never have this problem in Texas. Not saying people don’t do this (I do all the time), but i also can’t remember the last time I had to form a line and wait on a gas pump either.

I just take a picture of the readout with my phone. I'm too lazy to walk inside and wait in line.

I did have this problem in Texas at the US 271 Exit off I-20 at the Texas Best Smokehouse.

The store manager got on their PA system and instructed everyone who was finished getting gas to move their vehicle to general parking. It's the only time I've ever witness a gas station instructing customers to not park at the pump.
