but seriously though, notpayforfuel challenge sounds dope. That could lead to the zero carz society.
If everybody did this, we would save so much money.
They can’t catch us all!!!
At scale, you just described the financial industry.
Or tech industry
Or capitalism
Surely the fine is in addition to also having to pay for the stolen fuel?
And not just the normal price, but usually with a factor of 2 or 3 involved.
In reality yes, hence the title
That’s a of total!
- you can’t pump without paying/cc
Ok 85 usd, you still have a civil case incoming and they usually get treble aka 3x the price of what you clipped.
It depends on where you are, and “treble” is the word you want.
As opposed to bass?
Three types of damages are compensatory, punitive, and treble. Compensatory damages are the actual damages with which a plaintiff needs compensation. Punitive damages are issued to punish the behavior. Treble punishments add three times compensatory damages to further punish a defendant for outrageous actions.
Auto correct gets me every time.
And I agree it depends were you live, its mostly enforced on farms/livestock/crops.
Have you noticed how awful autocorrect has become? I remember back in Android 9 you had to try to make it get it wrong. Now it’s this and Apple has it just as bad.
Has anyone noticed that gum’s gotten mintier lately?
You’re ducking right, it was better in the days of You’re.
I’ve had a theory on autocorrect for years. Call me a conspiracy theorist or a nutter. But its all by design. They talk about writing “finger prints” I think auto correct catalogs our misspelling fingerprints. Our patterns
And yes its insanely bad at right click correcting, I have to do a search and it comes back 100%… Maybe by design?
This loophole will be corrected before anything JP Morgan currently gets away with a fine on.
It’s not really a loophole, because we haven’t issued fines at less than triple digits in decades.
I foresaw the iran war. I swapped to an EV about a week before prices doubled in my area. I keep doing the math, and ive saved about $300 – and it only cost me $7166!
How do people pump gas before paying?
This was how gas pumps worked everywhere when I started driving
Yeah.
If you were a local they’d see you pull up and turn on the pump. If you weren’t you’d go inside and pay cash first, but it was inconvenient because it was harder to just fill the tank.
I’m 60, so me, too. But, I haven’t seen a pump or a station that allows pumping before paying in many, many years.
You hand over cash at the counter, and they turn on the pump. Or you pay at the pump--you need to put your card in before the pump will start.
It’s possible that some of the places that used to skip prepay were illegally taking the cost of a pump and run out of the pay of whoever was on register. I’ve never experienced it personally, but I’ve heard a lot of srories.
Depends where you live. I live in Australia, and there isn’t a single service station that makes you prepay where I love. You can just pump and pay at the end, always.
You make love in the gas station?
No elevators nearby
How do you fill your tank without paying for more gas than you’re going to use?
In some gas stations you must pay beforehand, but in others you can pay afterwards so you can fill your tank.
How do you fill your tank without paying for more gas than you’re going to use?
you don’t pay for more than you use. I prepay $100 on my credit card, use $58 and I’m charged $58, the $100 was a security hold and is the most you can get.
Standard procedure in Australia
not at Costco
That’s pretty standard some places. Or at least it used to be.
The same way that people get completely exonerated of a crime by paying a fine for missing their court date: they fucking don’t.
That citation might have cost 85 dollars in 1981.
Can you even get gas without paying? Seem rare nowadays
How does it even work having to pay before? Cos in germany you pay afterwards. But lets say you fill up for 40 dollars; does the pump then automatically stop when 40 dollars are reached?
You can pay cash or card inside at the counter, tell the attendant how much you want to pay. The pump is then turned on and will pump until it reaches the amount you paid. So, yes, it turns off automatically.
The other option is to pay a the pump, you put your card in, enter your pin, and the pump turns on.
If paying with cash inside before pumping, yes. Then you basically guess how much you need and pay that.
With a card, you “pay” with the card first, but it doesn’t charge the money until after you finished pumping and it knows what to charge.
LOL, what is wrong with people? This is brain rot.
that’s what the people want
