I can't believe it happened...

Pulled into the Kangaroo gas station because the big ole sign says 2.99 for regular gas... well, cool.... or so we think...

Put the card in, gassed up the truck.. pulled the reciept out of the pump.... 3.09 per gallon... WTF!

So I go inside, where the uneducated clerk says "Whadda ya want me to do about it?" so I ask for her manager.. no help there either.. WTF!

Hell, I know it only adds up to ... lets see.. 10 cents times 25 gallons... carry the... 2.50 but WTF! If you're going to ADVERTISE 2.99 gas, then f**kin SELL IT at 2.99!

Hey Paul, what'd the li'l ole pump say? It probably said 3.09. Calm down now. Don't get your bowels in an uproar. Breathe deep. And look at the pump next time. Prices are changing so fast right now, you can't depend on the lazy clerk to be on the ball. I mean :wtf: , man!

I do it in the transformer box.

Here in Oz it is illegal to advertise and sell at different prices.

When the price increases the signage must be changed before the pumps and when the price decreases the pumps are changed before the signs.

This way the actual price you pay for fuel is always the lower.

Currently paying AUD$1.38 / litr

I believe it's that way everywhere. They are *supposed* to sell it for what it is advertised for on the sign. But who is going to go to court over $0.10/gal? Once the pump is set for a given price it would be a major PITA to "refund" a few cents a gallon. So unfortunately you are going to get the response VSP did. After all, if the cash register didn't tell them how much change to give back they would be lost anyway :laughing1:

You know its sad but true. If a clerk cant scan it or swipe the card you will most likely have to come back later. A few weeks ago I wanted to pay for an item with my bank card. The girl swiped and swiped. After a few dozen swipes I asked if she would like me to manually enter the card #'s in for her. She thought I was being funny but I was dead serious. She finally figured it out and got her manager to finish the deal.

THAT is so true... I've been to places where they accidentaly shut the drawer before giving me my change, so they open it back up, and then they have to figure out what the change was... more than once I've had to tell THEM what change to give me.

Who can we thank for turning this country into a bunch of worthless idiots with no accountibility?

Sorry for getting so worked up but it seems every freakin day some idiot or goon is trying to screw you, or messes up everything for you cause they're an idiot or a scam artist? I'm sick to damn death of it.

Can't find a job? Bull****. I'LL give you a job. I know at least ten business owners in Raleigh who can't find someone willing to fill their empty positions.

Can't work? Bull****. Just because the welfare state says it's kosher, being 25 and nothing wrong with you but lazyness is not a valid excuse.

Ok, I'm done now.

LMAO! I hear every word you are saying and couldn't agree more.

I think the worst case of this "outcome based education" was one night in a grocery store. My wife and I were standing in line behind a kid we knew who was IN COLLEGE. When he went to pay for his purchase he tried counting his money but couldn't. He held out his hand full of money for the cashier to take what she needed. If it were not for us standing behind him she could have ripped him off and he would never have known the difference! Here's the good part: His mother, who we also knew, was a SCHOOL TEACHER!!!

Welcome to South Carolina, the State who is always fighting with Mississippi for last place on the education list!

      Overflow with Permit Drawings, Shop Drawings or Material Takeoff? We Might Be Able to Help

      By Night Owl · Posted

      One thing that can make a good sign project more complicated than expected is location. You may have the client, the drawings, and the project ready to go, but then you have to figure out who can fabricate the signs, who can install them, whether they can meet the schedule, and how everything will be coordinated from a different city or state.   This becomes even more challenging when you're dealing with multiple locations.   We have helped sign companies with the work that happens between getting the project and getting it completed, including:   Project Estimating Material takeoffs, quantity takeoffs, reviewing plans, and preparing pricing for commercial sign projects.   Design and Drawings Sign design, permit drawing packages, shop drawings, fabrication drawings, and production-ready files.   Vendor and Installer Sourcing Finding suitable fabricators, installers, and other local vendors when a project is outside your normal market.   Project Coordination Keeping track of vendors, approvals, revisions, fabrication schedules, installation dates, and project deadlines.   Multi-Location Sign Programs Coordinating signage projects across multiple cities and locations while keeping the information and project requirements organized.   This can be useful for shops that want to take on work outside their usual territory without having to build a new vendor network from scratch every time. We also provide overflow support when an internal team is simply overloaded with bids, drawings, takeoffs, or project management work.   If you are working on a project where you need help with estimating, sign drawings, material takeoffs, vendor sourcing, installation coordination, or project management, feel free to reach out.   Sign Bridge Request a quote at office@signbridgeco.com Call or text: 619-953-1209 You can also visit www.signbridgeco.com to see the services we provide.

      Yes LEDs Can Start Fires

      By Cra-z · Posted

      Did you put your tongue on it to see if it still works? LOL    All jokes aside, yes LEDs can burn the place to the ground just not quite as risky as HIGH VOLTAGE NEON.

      Yes LEDs Can Start Fires

      By Erik Sine · Posted

      We always see a lot of conversation about how "Safe" LEDs are because they are "Low Voltage".    That is not true.   A lot of times it can just take a little bit of moisture getting inside of a module casing.   So NO, LED Module are not SAFE or DUMMY PROOF just because they are low voltage.

      The Principal Sloan Monopoly just got Larger

      By Erik Sine · Posted

      I'm sure ISA will post "Congratulations" followed by re-posts and likes....as Users get ready to PAY MORE....the competition just became LESS!!!           Options and Choices at your local Sign Supplier just became fewer, and prices just went up.   Be sure to check out your International Sign Association Web Blast and Announcements which will contain "Congratulations Principal / Sloan on your newest / latest acquisition!!!"     We all know what this means to the market place....lesser competition....higher prices...lesser quality.   This is the reason for Brighton LEDs....It will always remain Top Tier Quality!
