Today, I went to spend my last $50 on gas, since I get paid in 5 days. I paid for the gas and stepped into the restroom briefly. I came out, only to discover that the attendant had put the gas on the wrong pump, and someone had used it for themselves. My tank is empty. FML

This situation got a lot more difficult before it got better. For starters, in hindsight I know I should've started pumping my gas first before going to the bathroom but I've done this plenty of times before and never had this problem (and I really had to go lol). As a side note, I live in Colorado and I have never seen a full service gas station anywhere in my state. And for the couple people calling me stupid about my "lack of a budget", I bought my dad a nice Father's Day gift and so after paying all my bills I was left with basically nothing. The attendant refused to admit that he had put it on the wrong pump so I called the company (Shell for those wondering) and they had the store GM come out to avoid getting the police involved. It took him an hour to show up and the attendant was being an ass the whole time. Cameras showed the GM that the attendant made the mistake (even though he was still trying to deny it). Finally after about 2 hours the GM filled my tank up and gave me a gas card for the 50 as an apology. And he ended up firing the attendant for his lack of professionalism. Sorry for the long reply everyone but thanks for the good wishes and taking the time to share your input! Definitely going to pump my gas first next time.

They must be able to give you a refund? Otherwise, complain to the manager, which will make the attendant post a FML!

Why didn't you pump your gas before using the restroom? Even if they put it on the right pump, someone could have walked up and taken the gas.

That sucks I hope things get better for you.

That should not be your problem but the attendant's.

That's why you move to Oregon (people pump your gas for you)

damn. he owe you $50 with free gas.

Call the Police. That is theft. The person that Pumped and did not pay also needs to be held accountable.

They should give you a refund, that's not your fault

Usually it's best to pump your gas then use the restroom...sure hope you can get things straightened out

As a fuel kiosk clerk , they are required to give you the 50$ worth of gas. and in the end , it's there ass for not making sure it's the right pump . unless you told them wrong . In that case , it's your fault.

It's the attendants fault so it is their job to fix it. This needs a follow up.
