If you go into a place and they say that you have to pay tell them you won't be shopping there again, if they hear it a few times, maybe they'll scrap that stupid idea..

They cant afford a 300$ air compressor every 2-3+ yrs likely? :rolleyes:

There is the Esso or whatever on Nose Hill by Silver Springs, the machine says you pay but all you do is walk in and say you need air. Its something about people leaving the machine running for no reason and its burnin the machines up.

Were following what our southern friends have been doing for years.

Next you guys will be talking about prepay/pay at pump only everywhere...

Most 7-11's do not charge for air. Sometimes you have to ask for the air hose because if they leave it out people steal it :rolleyes:

Leave it to fucktards and peons everywhere to ruin shit for everyone else by vandelizing these things or generally just not even putting them away properly so that they get run over or pulled out of the wall.

However, that said, there are still plenty of free places all around calgary, so I doubt I'll evry pay for it. And if it comes to that I have a compressor I can use anyhow, in which case once they all start requiring money, I'll beat the lowest price by 10% and you can blow up your rubber at my place. :D

i have yet to see a pay for air pump in the NW could see it soon tho. i have however been to a pay before you pump gas pump.....thought that was the stupidest thing ever. pay and guess how much you will need if you are wrong we will go through a whole process to give your money back....doesnt seem logical

The only "pay" places ive seen are ones that donate the money to charity.

Air is accually really expencive to produce. One of the most expencive forms of power there is.

Still, they have the pump already for the garage or car wash. why not make it free for us keeps the customer happy.

in tuscany you have to pay for your gas before you pump. thats why i only put in $20 at a time and than do it during the day. Its not all day, its just after 6pm but during the day its normal. when you put $40 your always worried if you have to go back and get that extra money.

:werd: I bought a Canadian Tire pump for $10 on sale. It works, albeit slowly. The cord is long enough to reach the cigarette lighter from each tire.

At home, I have this. :D

I hate that shit, I don't know how much gas I need to pay for until I've filled up for christ sakes.
