Pop Goes The Premium
Convenience Store, Gas Station, Ignoring & Inattentive, Nebraska, Silly, USA | Right | January 22, 2018
(A customer comes up to the counter with a canned beverage and asks to pre-pay for $20 worth of gas.)
Me: “Do you want plus or premium gas?”
Customer: “Premium.”
Me: “That’ll be $21.69.”
Customer: “Why is the premium so much more expensive?”
(My boss and I both think that she is referring to the price-per-gallon difference, and try to explain it to her.)
Customer: “So, why are you charging me over $21 for $20 worth of gas?!”
Me: *pointing to the can of pop in her hand* “Well, you do have that drink there, ma’am.”
(All three of us burst out laughing.)
