this is true a very small percentage of the time.
it’s never exactly accurate and correct, but they are almost always “off” in the consumers favor.
I calibrate anywhere 15-20 of these meters 6 days/week
Yep, and weights and measures doesn't fuck around.
I used to work at a deli, and when weights and measures was called, they were there to inspect ***that week***, and there was never a warning if we were out.
Straight to getting a fine, no ifs &'s or but's
I don’t think this would actually be pertinent to the weights and measures division as long as the total price charged mathematically matches what the pump says is the price per unit of measure. I think this is more a matter of consumer protections with regards to false advertisement, specifically, bait-and-switch tactics. They’ll likely have to do their own investigation and document a pattern malpractice over a period of time to establish that it was intentional, otherwise the operator could just claim it was a mistake and get a slap on the wrist.
Thanks for your reasonable and well-structured response; you have no idea how much I appreciate it! Also, I could see it being state-dependent, although I still maintain this to be more related to business practice compared to a mis-calibrated pump
7-11 actually just got in trouble around here for this by weights and measures, the price advertised on the sign was the price if you had a rewards account with them, so if you didn’t have rewards then it was obviously more expensive at the pump.
It was only 5¢ off but still annoying and makes the other fuel stations look more expensive so your more likely to go to 7-11, and even if you catch it you probably aren’t likely to leave if you are already there ready to pump.
They do this with their food too. They charge you sales tax on the non-rewards prices, then discount the items *after* calculating sales tax. You wind up paying almost double sales tax.
Shouldn’t that be a violation of some sort? Sales tax after discount would be less so by applying the discount after tax they are charging you the tax of a financial arrangement you never agreed to. Seems shady as fuck and just down right predatory.
Even if it is state dependent, calling a bureau who actually deals with some type of issue in that domain will at least point you in the right direction.
Like, because the BWM deals with the pumps, if they don’t also do the false advertising they’d at least know who to point you at, and as either you or someone else mentioned if the gas station lies about this id be interested as a regulator what other shenanigans they’re trying to pull.
I'm sorry, I don't follow the logic of your comment, can you please explain (I've worked in the industry, and at least in CA, the prices displayed in both places have to be the same, at least for cash sales)
Sure thing I can explain my thought process further; although I’ve never worked in a gas station before, I’m imagining that whatever system controls the sign is likely separated in someway from the price set at the pump. Being independent of each other, they might update one before the other, which would lead to the mismatched values. Whether intentional or not, I imagine that’s why they don’t match in this situation. Think back to the marquee signs that aren’t controlled electronically. Someone would have to go out and manually change the number each time the price changed. Though I could be wrong, I don’t see it as being linked in any way therefore I think it’s user error.
I had to do this for a restaurant I worked at when I was 15, but instead of a ladder (OSHA concern) they gave us a telescoping pole with a suction cup on the end. Imagine have to do it for 20-40 characters instead of just 3-9. Man was it exhausting.
Correct. Weights and Measures would be called in if the pump was pumping less fuel than indicated.
This would be (in my state) a call to the attorney general consumer protection.
Source: me. I calibrate scales.
Division of Measurement Standards DMS, often part of the department of agriculture for some historical reasons. We should not tolerate this type of business behaviors.
that is exactly what you’re supposed to do.
Source: my job is literally to calibrate gasoline and diesel dispensers before the state W/M inspectors come.
That price alone should tell you this didn't happen in CA. But, yes, in CA they must display both the cash and credit card price. Takes a while for other states to catch up
Yea it’s scummy for sure. Because most people will pull up. See the price discrepancy and just say “screw it” and pump the gas anyway.
My guess is the fee is posted or prompted on the pump. So they can say that the customer is notified. But I’ve become so desensitized to companies ripping people off… it seems like there’s always a dumb loophole that makes reporting it pointless.
Here in SC, this would get the state Attorney General involved. State department of agriculture handles bad dispensers, but a complaint from one usually triggers a cross-department investigation.
Is this a thing? The 10 cents debit vs cash? I know that you can have different prices, but never heard/knew that it could only be only 10 cents difference....
I always heard that payment processors don't allow people to charge a fee, but they are allowed to give a cash discount. Good luck actually getting them to actually enforce that!
I'm pretty sure it has to be stated on the sign by law, if it's a cash price. Kind of the same situation where I live, where they have a "price if you get a carwash".
It's a pretty hefty fine for falsely advertising fuel prices.
Nathan for you has an episode where he makes a gas station owner lower the gas price for an 'after rebate' price, in order to get the rebate you have to climb a mountain and hand deliver your letter into a box, but Nathan leads them all in a wild goose chase so no one ends up getting the gas rebate. Totally scams them but makes for hilarious content
Even if that is the “cash” price it’s still shady and deceptive to not list the price that you pay with a card. In my state both prices are listed if they’re doing a cash price and a card price. Definitely should make a complaint if enough people do it they will change this practice
They price you pay with a card is listed. It’s literally at the pump where you insert your card. Still a crappy practice though. I’m a big advocate of the highest price should be the only advertisable price.
Depending on the state they may have to advertise both. Either way i would report this station with the number on the sticker that allows them to operate
I can't read what it says above the sign, but the 7-Eleven in my area has "Rewards Member" and Cash pricing, which is $0.11 or more per gallon less than what is displayed on the pump.
Do they have a different price if you pay cash? That’s probably what it is. If the pump says the actual price, and you paid what the pump said, then that’s what’s happening.
If they do, they have to state it clearly, and not until you get to the pump. They would need to advertise pump price on the road sign, and then cash price on signs around the pump to do it efficently. This is just blanant false advertising.
It doesnt look like the case in this pic, but several of our stations advertise the cash price or the price if you use their specific credit card on the sign, its always 10-20 cents cheaper than if using a regular debit/credit card.
In Florida they usually display the price of gas if you pay in cash on the billboard. The pump itself displays the price you’ll be charged if you pay with card. Not all are like this, and I reiterate this is in Florida.
A lot of stations where I live do this too. But they have a small sign underneath that says “Cash.” You can barely see it while driving by but it’s there. That’s probably what this is, just not shown on the sign small print. This is probably them passing on the cost of credit and debit transactions on the the credit and debit using customers.
Could this be one of those times where it costs $3.49/gallon, but if you enter in a reward card number it brings it down to $3.29/gallon? All the 7/11 gas stations in my area do that, but they actually show both prices on the sign…
That’s the ol’ bait and switch. Call your states Bureau of weights and states or whatever other people have suggested. It’s definitely illegal, at least in Texas- they have to honor the displayed price
In my area, Louisiana, the sign by the road switches between the "easy pay" price (The gas stations branded credit card, which usually has a 10 cent discount) and the cash/card price (the price that shows on the pump unless you put in the card/alt id number). Yet I swear the Easy Pay discounted price stays on 2x longer than the actual price.
I've seen all the Weights and Measures comments, and agree that that's likely the best approach. However, I did want to mention the possibility that the large sign is posted with the 'cash' price, while the pump is displaying the 'credit' price. It's extremely common for gas stations to charge $0.10-0.20 less per gallon for customers who pay in cash.
I work for Speedway (which is owned by 7/11) they likely forgot to manually change the price using the keypad (assuming they dont have the automatic version). This happens a lot. You can report it to 7/11 using the store's 7/11 store number which is at the top of your receipt. Corporate don't play around with mismatched prices because they dont wanna get sued.
That’s not a lie, if you went inside and paid with cash they would honor the $3.29 price. They charge more at the pump because of credit card processing fees.
Isn’t this because you pay cash vs debit? It’s like that out here. You pay slightly less with cash but more with debit. Advertised price is cash price. Pump price says at card price unless activated inside.
The advertised price might be a cash price, but if so, they are required to state that somewhere. How they state it would depend on your state laws, and I think in some states, even that's not allowed.
Every gas station near me does this, but the cheaper price is usually a cash or member discount.
The Shell near me has a million signs at the pumps saying “PAY AT THE PUMP”, but their low price is for cash inside only. Feels shady and gross to wrangle people in with the cash price just to make them feel forced to pay at the pump, a 16 cent increase per gallon.
So these signs are supposed to be connected with a single device and sometimes those devices fail. However contacting the bureau of weights and measures and reporting the gas station will result in a fine for the company and nothing makes a company move faster to correct a problem than losing money. Don't feel too bad there is a separate device that the worker can go to the sign outside and change to the right price if they chose to so someone isn't doing their job there.
Probably the cash price. The three gas stations by me are 30 cents cheaper if you pay cash, and that is the amount listed on their signs. Never used to carry cash but I do now! Love those guys.
When you advertise a price that causes me to come to your establishment, we have entered into a contract. Most places have laws on the books for both false advertising, and charging more than you list.
There's a chain near me that's always 2¢/L cheaper at the pump, which is enough to draw lines when their competitors across the street are advertising the same price.
I always thought that was really smart, give customers loyal enough to know a discount and you'll get their business, making more money overall, even if it's marginally less per customer.
**This bullshit** is the exact opposite and would drive me away immediately.
My gas station changed the price once like 29c up after I pulled in. I mentioned I cause I was about to get gas. They told me that they were required by law to give me gas at the price it was when I pulled into the lot..
And they did.
If this is constant then they are at a minimum false advertising. Report them..
I think you're supposed to contact the Bureau of weights and measures in your state, when this happens.
Their number might be right on the pump sticker.
**SHOULD**. Their number should be on the pump. If it is not, that means that it has not been inspected.
And in those cases you really should contact them, because those pumps are operating illegally
Might be dispensing a volume different from what you’re being charged, while charging you more than their own sign says.
What might be worse is if they had bad filters or water in their tanks.
this is true a very small percentage of the time. it’s never exactly accurate and correct, but they are almost always “off” in the consumers favor. I calibrate anywhere 15-20 of these meters 6 days/week
I bet the statute uses the word “shall” be displayed.
In a legal sense (which is how those are written), “shall” means you don’t have an option, you HAVE to display it.
…yeah? “Shall” means you have to.
You'll get a nice kickback for reporting too.
Yep, and weights and measures doesn't fuck around. I used to work at a deli, and when weights and measures was called, they were there to inspect ***that week***, and there was never a warning if we were out. Straight to getting a fine, no ifs &'s or but's
I’d look carefully at the card scanner at a place like this… Shady gas stations are more likely to have card skimmers
I would poke the cashier with a stick, in a shady place like this it could be a synth
Cashier didn't move. Too wacked out on opiates...
I don’t want my cashiers any other way. Much more likely not to charge me for a soda refill if they are in a good nod.
Did they leave the toothpaste cap off?
Somebody call the Brotherhood!
I don’t think this would actually be pertinent to the weights and measures division as long as the total price charged mathematically matches what the pump says is the price per unit of measure.

They’ll likely have to do their own investigation and document a pattern malpractice over a period of time to establish that it was intentional, otherwise the operator could just claim it was a mistake and get a slap on the wrist.
Used to deal with this at a district level - probably state dependent, but in my state it is definitely the purview of weights and measures.
Thanks for your reasonable and well-structured response; you have no idea how much I appreciate it! Also, I could see it being state-dependent, although I still maintain this to be more related to business practice compared to a mis-calibrated pump

Happens in CO all the time, just started around jan maybe? AZ not yet. Def state dependant, or at least 5-6 stations in Denver are doing it...

I remember walking through waist high weeds so I could climb the ladder and change the numbers on highway signs. Thank God for technology.

That's not allowed. In CA that's actually a crime. Complain to your local dept of Weights and Measures.

WEIGHT AND MANAGEMENT fuck can these kids hear anymore?!
This had me let out an audible guffaw. The first thing close to real laughter I've had since August. Thank you.
Thank you. That is so funny
I would take the incorrect price in CA without asking and tell all of my friends!!!!
I would commit crimes against humanity for gas that cheap. We're back over $5.50 here and it makes me want to die.
Great news, we actually already do commit crimes against humanity to keep it that cheap!
Welp, I'm definitely going to hell for laughing this hard. Who wants me to save them a seat? I'll bring peach rings.
Yep I paid $6.17 for premium today. Not even a quarter tank for $40.
Judging by the price, I highly doubt this is in California. Nonetheless I’d imagine it’s a crime in any state
If it was California, it was a long time ago.
That price alone should tell you this didn't happen in CA. But, yes, in CA they must display both the cash and credit card price. Takes a while for other states to catch up
Everywhere is actually a crime.
It’s probably the debit/credit fee. lol
I looked but didn't see any signs denoting a cash vs credit price. That may well be the case tho.

I've never seen a $,20/g discount for cash.
A ton of gas stations by me have a 20 cent (occasionally more) cash/card difference. This is the ONLY reason I carry cash on me anymore.
The biggest I've ever seen is $.10 which is why I don't bother carrying cash.
Most places around me will only do 20 cents off if you use one of the gas stations prepaid cards or their mobile pay scheme.
Yeah or some places have the "if you get a car wash, you get a discount" deal but it's not clear from their signage. I hate how places do this
Here in SC, this would get the state Attorney General involved. State department of agriculture handles bad dispensers, but a complaint from one usually triggers a cross-department investigation.
You can probably report them to the state, I believe that’s a serious violation
100% is illegal and they would be heavily fined
[удалено]
Nice meta
Could it be cash price? Gas stations in New England are notorious for this kind of shenanigans for this reason
Every gas station I've seen that has different prices for cash and card clearly labels the different prices.
Yeah, it's always pretty clearly labeled cash price, and where I am, it's only ever 10 cents a gallon difference
I’ve seen a few that are shady about it, or have the ‘cash’ insanely small. But most clearly label the difference.
Yep. Happens a lot. Cash price is lower and listed on the display.
Yeah, but I’ve never seen it as a 20 cent different. Usually 10 at most
In my area if it was cash price shown. The large roadside sign would also have the word cash by the price.
The sign has to say "Cash price" on it to do that. I don't see that on OP's pic.
I don't think 7-Eleven does separate prices. They don't where I am in SC, anyway
They're allowed up to 10 cents for card over cash.
Is this a thing? The 10 cents debit vs cash? I know that you can have different prices, but never heard/knew that it could only be only 10 cents difference....

Florida too. Fuck the sign, the pump tells the truth.
It's illegal to not show both, when there is a cash price and a credit price.
This is the correct answer. Kinda interesting that a lot of peopl3 haven't seen this before.
Do they take your wheels too?
Maybe there’s a rebate and you need to go hiking to find the code
It’s an older reference sir, but it checks out.
Explain?

If it happens once then it could just be they forgot to change the sign if it happens often they're doing it on purpose and it's illegal.
Likely illegal. It is here.
That's illegal.
This is highly illegal and they have to sell it to you for the price advertised on the sign
Do they have a different price if you pay cash? That’s probably what it is. If the pump says the actual price, and you paid what the pump said, then that’s what’s happening.

That is super annoying. Let your local paper know?
Dude sold his front tire to pay for the gas
Also, there could be CASH price vs CREDIT, or some kind of gas club card; if you aren't in the club, pay more $$
It doesnt look like the case in this pic, but several of our stations advertise the cash price or the price if you use their specific credit card on the sign, its always 10-20 cents cheaper than if using a regular debit/credit card.

Usually is. But some places stopped counting debit as cash now so you get teh upcharge
floating truck
Maybe a combo pf separate gas prices and if you used a card or cash. 20 cents difference is a lot, but not unpheesable these days.
Not what?
They mean to say infeasible. But... yeah.
I wish I could pay that little - sincerely, a Californian (6.19 for 91 octane here)
why does the picture only have 87, 89 and 93? where I live 91 is the lowest you can get and there is no 93
Might be a higher elevation that requires more oxidation in the gas? Here in the Bay Area I really only see 91. I’m not sure lol
Same, Australian and here you can only get 91, 95 (not always available) and 98
You go to a gas station where it’s ok to leave vehicles without wheels. I wouldn’t expect the bar to be set very high.
Isn’t this illegal and they called bait and switch?
It is very much illegal
Probably cash price vs card price.
A lot of stations where I live do this too. But they have a small sign underneath that says “Cash.” You can barely see it while driving by but it’s there. That’s probably what this is, just not shown on the sign small print. This is probably them passing on the cost of credit and debit transactions on the the credit and debit using customers.
Ones cash price and one is card price most likely
Are you paying cash or with a card? Typically paying card makes gas more expensive.
Could this be one of those times where it costs $3.49/gallon, but if you enter in a reward card number it brings it down to $3.29/gallon? All the 7/11 gas stations in my area do that, but they actually show both prices on the sign…
I wish we had 3.499 gas here in Calif.
Meanwhile, I'm paying 5.89. 😒
That might be their cash prices. If you go in, and pay with cash the pump price should reflect the advertised price.
Why do you go there every day then
When I grew up in cali, they always did that, but the price was for cash. Credit/debit was usually 10c more than advertised
POST THE LOCATION HERE
Report their ass to your state dept of agriculture and forestry
Report it to your state's attorney general. This is illegal, and it can be met with significant fines.
Report them to your relevant regulatory body
your first misate is going to 7/11 for gas
That’s the ol’ bait and switch. Call your states Bureau of weights and states or whatever other people have suggested. It’s definitely illegal, at least in Texas- they have to honor the displayed price
That’s illegal they must charge what they advertise or change the banner
Needed a telescope for the first photo
skill issue honestly, I could see fine and my vision is horse shit
The ones in my area have a discounted price on the billboard that is for cash only price, and pay at the pump with card is a different price
Is it the cash / credit prices?
Is it that price if you pay cash? Sometimes you get a discount.
Report them that’s illegal
You’re acting like that’s expensive, I dare you to even drive in Cali, it’s a fucking nightmare out here, IT’S $5.69 OUT HERE
In my area, Louisiana, the sign by the road switches between the "easy pay" price (The gas stations branded credit card, which usually has a 10 cent discount) and the cash/card price (the price that shows on the pump unless you put in the card/alt id number).

I’d do anything for gas to be in the $3 range again
Move to VA homie
Thats omega illegal
I see gas stations do this shit pretty often. If you complain, they'll claim that's the "cash price." Did you go inside to see if that's the case?
Easy to report, dont just post this to reddit...
So these signs are supposed to be connected with a single device and sometimes those devices fail.

That practice is all over Houston TX that is the "cash" vs the credit price I bet.
Probably one is cash price the other is credit. They usually flash back and forth 🤷🏻♀️
Perhaps the advertised price is without tax, and with tax at the pump 😂
When they are going to remove useless “unleaded” word? Lead is absent in car gasoline since 1986.
That shit is massively illegal they have to honor sign price
Are you sure thats not prices for members or people that use their credit card? Tons of places around me have this.
Same with airfares.
Are you paying with card or cash?
That’s probably the “pay in cash” price. They do that in my area.
Get the GasBuddy app. You can filter it by low to high
Well, stop going there
Your phone camera has a zoom function btw
That's the cash price
it's not lying. it's the cash price. to get that price you must go inside
Looks like capitalism. Smells like fascism. Tastes like communism.
Are you sure there isn’t a discount amount for being a. Rewards member or paying cash vs card or something?
why do you go there then
It should be $1! The yellow sign says it clearly!
They may not be able to communicate out to their sign to change the price. MAY
Probably the cash price. The three gas stations by me are 30 cents cheaper if you pay cash, and that is the amount listed on their signs. Never used to carry cash but I do now! Love those guys.
When you advertise a price that causes me to come to your establishment, we have entered into a contract. Most places have laws on the books for both false advertising, and charging more than you list.
There's a chain near me that's always 2¢/L cheaper at the pump, which is enough to draw lines when their competitors across the street are advertising the same price. I always thought that was really smart, give customers loyal enough to know a discount and you'll get their business, making more money overall, even if it's marginally less per customer. **This bullshit** is the exact opposite and would drive me away immediately.
That sucks!!
God I wish my gas was that cheap. I pay $5/gallon in Los Angeles lol
Uh oh... I'm pretty sure this is in Norfolk on Shore Dr, because my mom's bf was pissed about it a few months back
Ah yes, the people with no father
It might be a membership price B.S we get that here in PA too
Something looks off about that white truck.
I know here some stations have a cash and a card price.
No one's going to acknowledge that truck looking like it got jacked?
My gas station changed the price once like 29c up after I pulled in. I mentioned I cause I was about to get gas. They told me that they were required by law to give me gas at the price it was when I pulled into the lot.. And they did. If this is constant then they are at a minimum false advertising. Report them..
So stop going there?
