Shell Gas Station tried to rip me off

[surferbaby13]

They tried to take 50 bucks from me...thankfully i have a big mouth and ill bitch until I get what I want. Especially when they were trying to steal from me.
Never go to the shell on 37st and Bow trail....they will try and steal from you without even knowing.
I went and prepaid on a pump. The man (of a different race) really trying not to be racist... The man put it in on the wrong pump....first stupid mistake. Then when I was almost full he told me his mix up and said he needed to refund my card as it was on the wrong pump. I went in he gave me a reciept that said 50 bucks was refunded ......from the till....not the interact....the till. I tried to explain that he only refunded his till and not my card. We were yelling and screaming. I was furious...so he told me to check my bank (as he guarantees it went back onto my card) and if its not come back and I will reumburse ur money. Sure as shit I called my bank.....no money was refunded. So I was choked....went to shell told the white guy the story and he started to feed me a new asshole and said it takes 2 business days to refund the card. I kept telling him if it was refunded back onto my debit it would say refund on this slip.....I started to swear ...and he started to yell at me....I wanted to cry I was so mad. Finally they realized their wrong and gave me my money.

All in all they were DICKS and tried to take my money by being sneaky....so just a heads up.....to be cautious and watch what people in this society will try to do to you. I refuse to do business there.....

The exact same thing happened to me but in the shell in country hills. You should never let them do this. Do not leave the place until you have your gas and never swipe your card twice...NEVER. They don't need to refund the money he's just scamming.

I told the guy I was calling the cops if I walked out to the pump and there wasn't gas authorized...walked out and pumped away. This is just a way for them to make more money at their shit job. And the guy I dealt with was east indian...almost shit himself when I said I'm calling the cops.

Get out of car, hold tag to pump, beep, lift nozzle, select grade, replace nozzle, grab receipt, gtfo.

I love it. It's the most efficient way to get gas since they got rid of the RF sensors you put on your back window. No need to swipe my credit card and then air miles separately either.

[copynpaste]

I always get my gas at coop cause theyre honest and dont pull cheap shit like this. Plus being a coop member we get a small % returned back to us at teh end of the year by cheque.

[VetteRacin]

debit cards work on the pumps too, so why prepay inside?

It's easy but let's just say that don't bothering ordering one if you don't already have one.

I always pay at pump except when it come to gift certs I get from airmiles. Then it's PITA. The only Shell that let you pump and pay @ til is 4th St N.W by Safeway.

I've noticed a lot of pumps started cutting you off at 100 back a year or 2 ago.. Now its down to 75 on some pumps... WTF. I have to stop pumping, hang up the nozzle.. Wait for the pump to thank me, and clear and then start pumping after swiping my card again. PITA .

Noticed that too, pretty retarded in a city where 1/4 of the population drives a 3/4 ton truck with 130L gas tank.

Yup I cant let my truck go down below 1/4 anymore unless I know I can get to the coop by my house to pay inside. Shell was the worst (with those tags) because sometimes it wouldnt let you use it twice in a row or sometimes it would sit at the thank you sign forever.

The joys of having a 120l tank. It is nice I can drive almost a month on one tank however.

[Supa Dexta]

mines 130l and I only get a few days usually.

Those guys are sleazy! BTW shell gas sucks anyways, their fuel isn't regulated enough and always contains a major amount experimental additives. My friend is a petroleum engineer, he told me that Petro Canada premium has the best octane content and strict formulas they keep to. I switched about a month ago and my mileage is a bit better, the major difference is my idle is the smoothest I've ever had.

I've seen data that show the exact opposite actually...Petro-Can came in last out of 4 tested (Husky, Shell, Esso, Petro-Can).

Having education or a job in an industry does not make you an expert on every aspect of that industry.

[Alak]

I've never prepaid at the shell I fill up at. I just fill up and pay inside. Mind you, they know me because I been goin there for, well, since I started driving.

[dj_rice]

Call the cops on them next time.
