35 cent gas

From the W-S Journal

WILMINGTON

Traffic was backed up and police were called to control the crowd after a Wilmington gas station accidentally set the pump price at 35 cents a gallon.

Hundreds of drivers flooded a BP station for the cheap gas after the price dropped around 9 a.m. Thursday, The Wilmington Star-News reported yesterday.

Station employee Shane Weller said that the price for premium gasoline was supposed to be $3.35 a gallon. He complained that customers paid the cheaper price all day without saying a word.

It was all the extra traffic that led station employees to the mistake about 6 p.m.

They found it after calling their district manager, looking for permission to change the price as a way of stemming the flow of customers.

I saw this on they news. Said they could go back and bill everyone that used credits cards. I say they let it go and keep there dumb ass's out of any more news.

sounds like management is just as stupid as it's employees.
You know somebody had to snap a picture of the price on the pump with their phone/cam. And most ppl should have gotten a receipt (I would have just fo the novelty). Then a company CHANGES the charge amount? I smell law-suuuuuuuits (as Tootie would say).

Hundreds of drivers flooded a BP station ??? Come on, ppl, that's a sign of suspicious activity if their ever was one!

And hundreds of ppl. just getting $5-10 worth??? Oh, wait, that's not so unusual now.
