Yup, got one of those in my trunk as part of my roadside emergency kit. They're only like $10 anyways.

The only thing I don't like about prepay is because I only use cash, I have to overpay and go back in to grab change. Luckily, Coquitlam is all full serve.

I had to fill up the air in my tires the other day but didn't have a dollar on me so I went inside and asked the guy behind the counter if he could hook me up. Thankfully he activated the machine (from inside the store) for me for free!

And the clerk in there tried TWICE, to hide part of the snacks I bought thinking I would pay for it and not notice somethings missing and walk out. I stared him down, and I shit you not he said "Just keeding" both times.

Damn youuuu petro canada

I'm with you.

Wow, I thought I was the only one that happened to.
It happened to me a few weeks ago. I spilled 94 octane all over my freshly washed and waxed STi.

I hate cheap people.
It comes down to principal. To me, it's like a restaurant charging for a doggy bag. You are using their container which wasn't a part of the original sale.

But think about how it would make you feel. I'm sure you wouldn't frequent that restaurant again, would you?


or maybe you're just being a troll here because nobody in the real world gives a damn about your existance?


Do you need a hug?

My bro is in the business, his station is still making boatloads of money but some petro canada's have got rid of all their "owners" and replacing them with one "manager"

for example, I do believe that in north van there are 7 petro canada's being run by 1 guy. Money is good for him, but i bet he doesn't have a day off.

Most of the air pumps are now in the middle of the island, in between the 2 pumps, so if there's a line-up, they make sure the PAYING customers who are there for gas would get in first.
Good luck trying to convince old chinese men you're not trying to cut in line for gas. (No.2 and Westminster Hwy Chevron)

Yeah, I just saw George last week... went up there to replace a couple monitors. Place was crazy busy most of the time I was there.

AFAIK the same guy now "oversees" all the North Shore stations (except Lynn Valley), and Hastings & Renfrew. He's been running the Lonsdale & 13th one for years and he was wound-up and beyond stressed then... I can only imagine how close he is to a stroke these days with... well, there's Surfside and Ambleside in W. Van; Lonsdale, Cap & Marine, Main & Mountain in N.Van; and across from the PNE... so that's six. He might have taken on Gibsons too, I'm not sure. He's a good shit, like I say... just really uptight.
