Anybody else hate GSTV?

On a totally unrelated note, anyone else slightly paranoid about hitting the "no receipt" button? After all, if they decide to fudge the rounding (or worse), you have no proof.

I always get the receipt. Then match it to my bank.

I don't like them, and I don't like the ones that are in some stores, too.

Yeah, I find these things very annoying.

It makes it difficult for me to enjoy the loud fender rattling booming noise coming from the still running hoopty parked on the other side of my pump.

Culture failure. That's some annoying disrespect for nature there.

I think its brilliant from a business standpoint.

In a culture where the majority of people can't take their noses away from a shiny screen, and have the attention span of a gnat... it is making the company a lot more money. Someone pulls up to the pump to put $20 in their tank, but then gets distracted by the pretty screen, and ends up putting $22 in the tank. I see it as taking advantage/punishing stupid people.

I always prepay inside for gas though. No going over for me.

People still do that? I mean, fill up by dollar amount, rather than gallons? I've always filled the tank. At least, for the last 25 years.

With the gas price fluctuation right now, there can be .30-50 cents per gallon difference in a week. If I'm under 1/2 a tank and the price shoots up 40 cents, most of the time, it will be back down in aboit a week. When I hit a 1/4 tank, I'll only put in $15-20 to hold me over until the price drops.

I keep transparent tape in the truck so I can seal the speakers. I'd like to think the next guy appreciates it.

I did try the muting trick on the ones I typically buy from in Mitchell and it worked.

Carmel Speedway just put the video pumps in. I'm never buying another drop there.
