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

ItsJustMe1616 tells us more.

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.

just tell them not us dips hit thell give u the ******* gas its there fault ... well unless u told them the wrong car in that cace ur stupid and u dezerve it

Your grammar and spelling is absolutely horrible. Maybe a brush up in English class would be a good idea for you.

Consider it your random act of kindness? Sucks that you couldn't authorize or control it though. FYL. Just take a quick peak next time.

Make the gas station give you $50 worth of gas. It's the cashier's f**k up, so they should have to make it right.

I would threaten legal action if they don't give you your money back or give you the gas you paid for.

Bet you could get more than 50 dollars of gas if you told the manager. They always have video cameras around gas stations so the attendant probably cant deny it.

No.... No they won't "get more then the 50$" it's people like you who should never reproduce.

That attendant would be covering that $50 for his F up!

That's not right. I hope you talked to the manager.

Damn hold that piss this is gas your talkin about

Shouldn't have been in the restroom. Couldn't you have held it?
