Pre Pay Gasoline
Today I went to a BP gas station near my work on my lunch break. I pre-paid inside for $20 worth of fuel and I also purchased an item inside the store. That's the whole reason I paid inside, so I wouldn't have to use my credit card twice (once at the pump and once inside). When I left I got in my car and drove off, forgetting all about the gas because I was in a rush to get back to work. When I pulled up into my work parking lot, I had realized that I forgot the gas, so I drove back to the gas station. I was gone from the gas station for 5 MINUTES. When I arrived, I pulled back up to the same pump I had pre-paid at, went inside and told the cashiers what had happened. They told me that a guy had gone to the same pump and that my pre-paid gas went into his damn car! I could understand if the guy just pulled up, noticed that it was pre-paid, pumped the fuel and left... BUT he went inside and told the cashiers what happened. Which is still unclear to me because every pump is pre-pay. He was trying to be honest about it, and they told him to go ahead and leave and not to worry about it. THEY DIDN'T CHARGE HIM ANYTHING! Technically, to me, this is STEALING! They should have made him pay $20 cash and apply it towards my gas when I showed back up. Did they think I wouldn't ever have noticed? Well I hope he enjoyed his free gas. I'm a college student and drive an hour to and from school everyday. I can't afford to loose any money. Whether it be $5 or $20! I could not find a main office number to contact. I'm working on it and believe me... they will be hearing from me. Needless to say I will NEVER spend another dime at ANY BP location!
