When today the 97 pump at the local BP garage was off, so thought to just get the petrol at Tesco after being shopping, well the queue was a mile long, so never bothered but thought to try another garage down the road from town, got to the little garage and nothing said if it was 95 or 97 etc, so went in to ask, and asked the bloke do you have any 97, well you would have thought I was going in to rob the place, his face was utter shocked, he said "97, er.....we've got unleaded, its 91.9p" I said no I want to know if you have any 97 unleaded coz there's nothing to say what it is,so is it 95 unleaded or 97 unleaded?? The bloke still didn't have a clue and had no idea what he was selling, I was so put off at this point and asked him to repeat how much he said the petrol was, when he said 91.9p I just turned round and said, oh thats 95 then coz I know 97 is a bit more expensive, and just walked out in amazment. How can people working in garages not know what they are selling, and can't answer a simple question like that.
He even said, we have diesel, it was obvious I didn't want that, he just needed to look out the window to work that one out.

LOL, Fiat Panda, am I missing something here

Julz1983

LOL Very good, like it I was going to put something like that but thought the rush of replies from blokes would come flooding in

Jer

Did you think he had some in a wheelie bin round the back?

Julz1983

No I didn't think there was any round the back, but the garage looked derelict to start with and there wasn't anything to say what anything was!!

Not trying to be pedantic (ok then I am but I can't help it) but..... if you talk the way you type the poor guy is probably still trying to work out the question

Dracoro

Why didn't you just ask if he had super unleaded? I wouldn't expect all petrol station staff to know the ron rating of petrol.

Hanslow

Maybe he had a virus

warrenm2

Really? Tell me more!

Hanslow

You'll need to check the computing section for all the virus info you'll ever need to know

They guy in the petrol station is probably getting paid buttons to do the job, why should he care whats in the pumps, as long as your filling & paying thats all he should care about

IMHO of course

davegtt

A guy wouldnt have been thick enough to go in and ask If theres 1 type of UL then the chances are its normal 95. we'd just drive off and look for a shell

Good job you didnt need to read a map to get there as well. Then you'd be really stuffed.
