Petro-Canada employees

[ƒORM]

Ok ok they're not all bad people just highly trained, can't break the mold-style workers. Take for instance when all I have in my wallet is a twenty, I've just pumped exactly $20 for gas and have no more cash on me. I proceed to the counter and hand the employee a $20. I ask for a reciept. Now come the 4+ most common questions.

One other variable is when it's after 10:00pm and everything is pre-pay even though they have 30 cameras recording my every move. Time consuming.

Legend
W= worker
M= me
---------------------------


W= "How are you today sir?"
M= "Fine thanks and you?"

W= "Very well sir, Car wash for you today sir?"
M= "No thanks"

W="Petro-points sir?"
M="No thanks"

W= "Would you like to sign up for a card sir"
M= "I already have one it's at home"

W="Any lotto for you sir?"
M= "No thanks"

W= "Will that be everything?"
M= "Yes"

W= "Thanks sir have a good day"
M= "Thanks"


This may be why there are so many line-ups in a petro can even when there are so few customers.

The next time you pump up make it a petro-can and tell me how close to this conversation u got.

I think it's in the training manual.

Upsell, upsell, upsell.

hey!

my friend worked at petro canada, and she rules!

she has to say those things or she will get fired, ok?

OF COURSE it's a business ploy...just nod and smile...the whole takes, what....30 seconds?

It does not cause a line up, I think you are nuts.

i've had way worse experiences!

like how the stupid fat old esso worker tried to bitch me out one morning about how i wasn't allowed to pump my own gas.

m=me
FA= fat ass old man

i get out and start pumping my gas like usual. and out comes FA
FA: "can i help you?"
m "don't worry i got it"
FA "you aren't allowed to pump gas"
m "whut the fuck!?"
FA " if you want to pump your own gas go to a self serve station"
m "no. pumping gas is easy and every station in COQ. is full serve"
FA "well you don't have the training to pump gas"
m "ITS NOT THAT HARD TO FUCKING HOLD A LEVER DOWN"
fa "well you need certification"
m "LOOK BUDDY. i'm in a fucking rush. and pumping gas doesn't take much brain power to do. you're a gas whore. WOW! you're certified!"

he proceeds to pump my gas and when its filled up he takes the nozzle out and drips gas all over the side of my car and puts his greasy fat fingers all over the gas cap cover. (mind you the car was spotless)

me "SEE! THIS IS WHY I DON'T LET PEOPLE LIKE YOU PUMP MY GAS! you don't give 2 shits about other peoples cars. you don't know shit!"

FA "..."

:Peenutt:


now that is a stupid gas station!

Ok having said that try to visualize this scenario....


Gas prices went down by 2 cents....cars are starting to flood onto the streets....there's 9 people at the register waiting to pay...

30 secs X 9 = 270 seconds = 4.5 mins

Now add 2-3 people waiting...

30 X 12 = 360 seconds = 6 mins...

I think u can see the problem...

=)

[SoniK]

did you really do all that math?


I would've just said.


It causes a lineup
