Station Attendant

Posted on Tuesday, November 9, 2010 in Collectibles

Why do gas station attendants think it's illegal for them to tell you their price of gas over the phone?

but it's not illegal, I asked a friend who happens to be an attorney and he said "that's crap, they are jerking you around".

I doubt if it's illegal, but if they did it, every gas station would get numerous calls every day from stupid people that will drive across town to save 5 cents a gallon. It's comical, if you put 15 gallons in your car, 5 cents difference is only 75 cents total, yet people will think it's worth their time (and gas) to drive extra to save half the cost of a soda inside the gas station.

It's a waste of their time, so virtually every gas station has a policy not to do it.

If I owned a station, I would agree with that policy and would instruct my employees not to answer the question.
