Sometimes, the overwhelming stupidity of people just makes me want to scream. These two guys came into the petrol station a week ago. They made four appearances in all.
First time: They came in and asked if we had any jerry cans spare. I said no. They left.
Second time: They came in again and asked how much a jerry was. I told them it was a fiver. They said they couldn't afford that, and left.
Third time: They came to a pump with a plastic bottle and tried to fill it with petrol. I didn't authorise the pump and told my collegue not to, either. I went out to talk to them. I told them that I couldn't allow them to fill the plastic bottle as it was against the law, due to it not being a suitable container.
Guy 1: Where does it say that?
Me: On the pump. *points it out*
Guy 2: Well, that's a stupid law.
Guy 1: We only have enough money to buy petrol, we can't afford a can as well.
Me: Sorry, but I can't go against the law.
Guy 1: We have to go save our friends who ran out of petrol on the dual carriageway.
Me: I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do. You have to buy a jerry can.
Guy 2: Well, fuck this. We'll just go down the road.
They left.
Fourth time: Unsurprisingly, the petrol station down the road also refused to let them fill their plastic bottle so they came back and bought a jerry can. Somehow, a ten pound note had magically appeared in Guy 2's wallet so they were able to do this. xD They filled their jerry, paid, and left.
I love it when customers come crawling back.
