The list grows shorter [gas stations]

[The Pastor]

Well after a slight kafluffel at caltex today, i can safely say I will not fill up there again. Unless i don't have a choice.

The list of stations I dont fill up with

BP
Mobil
Gull
Caltex


Guess that only leaves shell (and gas but i dont like orange), with there SHIT efpos systems, that rape the cards.

Would it kill shell to upgrade there system. Seriously.

But a big thanks goes out to shell. At shell you don't get treated like a criminal. You can simply go in and get gas. You don't get told "i knew you were a criminal that's why i don't turn on the pumps for you". Don't ever put your pumps on prepay. Please.

[Mully]

Meh, my local servos all turn the pump on for me.

Maybe I look like less of a criminal than you.

You should probably hope that the gas station you find in the middle of nowhere, with your tank on reserve is a Shell, or you might be in for a long walk.

I get the impression that I have missed a (potentially amusing) back story to this, care to fill me in on the prequel to this incident????

[PirateJafa]

Gotta watch out with that car mate. It's a real pimp-wagon.

But I gotta say I love BP. Best service I've had from any station that is in the big city, always tidy, always prompt to let me fill up, and never bitch about helmets/prepay. Drove away from a Shell today after they wouldn't let me fill up, and down the road to the Howick BP. You guys rock. :niceone:

GAS is BP's budget brand, you can use a BP card in a GAS:doh:

Before you end up having to put a sail on your bike to power it, it may be an idea to avoid the petrol stations that gets up your ass rather than the whole brand.:jerry:

[Madness]

Maybe it's not that you look like a criminal, just that your bike looks like such a p.o.s that the pump jockeys doubt you have the money to pay for fuel.

The north island must be such a shit hole.

The pumps are always on in south island petrol stations.

[tigertim20]

ok think im gettin it now, So north island petrol stations turn the pumps on and off for each sale based on the appearance of the person coming in? fuck that!

[Magua]

The pumps are always on in south island petrol stations.

All two of them?

[Sly_guy]

I've never had a problem at ANY petrol station in AKL and surrounding areas... even to the point where I often don't even bother taking the helmet off these days...

[dipshit]

All two of them?

And that's still one too many.

[Scouse]

The pumps are always on in south island petrol stations.Yea but I get pissed off with the theme from Deliverance that the 2 south island gas stations play continually

[Jantar]

No, no, no!
You are getting confused over popular music. Only one of them plays the theme, the other one plays Dueling Banjos. :Pokey:

[Duke girl]

I guess alot of service stations are fed up with the amount of drive offs they get day to day so therefore they are weary of who it is that is at their bowsers filling up. I guess I shouldn't really call them service stations as at most of them are Petrol Stations as you end up filling your bike or car up yourself with the only service you get is when you pay for it at the counter.

[Blackshear]

How is everyone getting all these shitty attendants?
Anyone in the birkdale/glenfiel/albany regions getting this?

north shore is pretty good mate.

RM is a FUCKWIT is the back story

[YLWDUC]

For once you hit it right on the money. If petrol stations don't want people to try stealing their petrol, then they could do one of several things:
1. Have forecourt attendants FFS!
2. Install decent cameras and security system
3. Get their newfangled EFTPOS at Pump things working
4. Put vehicle spikes up that only come down once the petrols paid for......
5. DROP THEIR PRICES!

I should go on, but I seem to be frothing at the mouth.......arrghhh

Don't knock it till you've tried it.

[Hiflyer]

north shore is pretty good mate.

yup, i even had a guy (from shell) ask me if he could help me. i said no ovcourse. haha but yea i actually had some service shock horror gasp!!!!

and the shell across the road from me on Great South road in Greenlane is really good! 73% of the time theyl have a person on the forecourt and dont care about helmets.

[MarkH]

The BP near me is good, I always fill there unless I am on a long ride and have to fill up elsewhere.

[avgas]

its not a case of you looking like a crim, its because you are.
Personally the fact that you are now numbering off servos off you list of people you don't like doesn't really bother the world. I mean think of it from their point of view - they weren't going to turn the pumps on to give you the gas anyway. No skin of their back.

[SpankMe]

I've never taken my helmet off to fill up and then go in and pay, and never been hassled about it. Both on my '07 Gixxer and '86 GB500. This is around central Auckland. Don't know if where you live makes any difference.

[JimO]

what fcuks me off about the south islands gas stations is the length of time it takes for the guy to get the bucket of petrol out of the well, then pour it into the bikes tank, then they bite your coins to make shure they are real

:killingme
At least they do it for you!
WE FOLK have to pick up the handle and do it, OURSELVES! Service station my ringpiece.

[Skyryder]

The only good thing about runnersis that one day the stations will convert all but one to eftpos. The sooner that happens the better. One stop swipe and fill.
