Due to reasons and essentially running down to $20 cash for the week (long story, payroll correction). I stopped at a servo to fill exactly $20.
I literally had a $20 note to make me to the end of the week until I get another proper pay. I planned to fill $20.
I start to pump and it runs for a few seconds. The pump stops itself and I look to the operator. He calls out ti hang the pump up and wait. I see big letters on the pump PRICE UPDATE.
I hang it up and wait for a thumbs up about 40 seconds later.
I put it pump back in the car and start to pump again, going on slow mode to creep up to $20 and hit it on the mark. Not even 0.02 rounding in my favour.
I go to pay and it’s $27.50! Apparently the hang up reset the counter but still charges!
Why push out and update resetting the pump so I can’t see the two ‘sessions’ charge?
I argued a little as I literally had $20 and $2 on my card. I told him report it as a fail to pay…
He proceeds to pay the $7.50 himself which makes me feel terrible but there’s nothing I can do!
I will go back to balance him, but it seems very confusing! The pump said $20 as I walked away but his screen had two sessions.
He said I should know it ‘resets’ but I had no idea. How can I pay a charge if that bowser doesn’t tell me both ‘sessions’ added up!
Not sure if you're new to driving but no fuel pump bowser aggregates multiple fills. Soon as you hang up the nozzle and take it out again it resets. Even if you do 2 fill-ups yourself normally one after the other straight away.
