Pay at the gas pump and car washes
December 2nd, 2007 . by adminI am starting to get sick and tired of being asked if I want a carwash while I’m paying for gas at the pump.
Today it was basically a snowstorm, and the pump asks me “Would you like a car wash?”. Do you have any idea how ill timed that question is? How about when it’s just pooring rain like crazy and you get asked if you want a car wash?
Let’s just add a “carwash” button, and leave it at that. Don’t ask me everytime I fill up. Or at the very minimum, have them be able to turn this feature on/off from inside the store. If the clerk sees its a nice day outside, sure, activate the “want a carwash” question.
No instead, the pump, in the middle of the snowstorm is going to ask probably about 200 or 300 people at that location whether or not they want a carwash in a snowstorm.
There’s probably 100 other gas stations in this area asking the same thing. That’s 30,000 people that are going to have to be asked if they want a carwash during a snowstorm.
It’s an annoyance. Don’t think I’m pointing out petty stuff. Petty to 1 person, sure. But it’s certainly not petty when 30,000 people all have to be asked a stupid question.
Why not take it further and have the gas pump ask us “Are you having a nice day? Yes/No”
Just give me my gas, and lets stop with stupid questions at inopportune times.
