Life On A Chain
You Were Meant For Me

Aug 8, 2005

Last weekend a co-worker set a $70 gas prepay for a man who only gave her a $50 bill. When he had pumped his fuel and started to drive away she sent me after him to tell him we owed him $20. He said he only paid $50 and pumped $50, so I went back into the kiosk and asked the negligent co-worker how much money he had given her.

"Well, the computer says he prepaid $70 and pumped $50," she said. "So, give him $20."

The customer had returned to the payment window to see what was going on. I gave him the $20 bill even though I was fairly certain co-worker had screwed up it wasn't really his money. He hopped in his truck and left. As soon as he was off the property, co-worker asked how much he told me he had given her. Sometimes this woman is just so infuriatingly slow that I want to scream.

This weekend I saw the same man and pointed him out to the woman I was working with.

"I don't understand how he could take the $20 knowing that it wasn't his," I pondered.

As I was talking to the other attendant, I heard him shouting across the deck to his wife who was fueling up a big black truck at a different pump.

"Just put in fifteen or twenty!"

When she came to the window to pay for the diesel she had pumped she said to her husband, "We're going to take it back to them on empty? $15 isn't going to go far in that truck."

He insisted that $15 was enough; why should they fill up the tank before returning it to their friends?

I started to understand how this man could take the $20 from last week.
