actually only happened once. some young girl actually called up the store because she put 12 dollars in her tank and it did absolutely nothing. she thought the gas station itself was scamming her, she didn't realize that gas was 5 dollars a gallon and 12 dollars was basically a droplet of piss. i was very confused at first
