This morning I was driving to work and passed by an independent gas station. I chuckled quietly to myself when I saw the price they had listed: 190.0. The rest of the city was listing their gas at 119.0.

Needless to say this typo or mistake could cost both the gas station owner and customers money. It would have been better if the owner paid a little more attention to his pricing and displayed the correct price. But instead, he left it up there all day. Now, he could have been having a malfunction in his sign, however unfortunate that would be, however I took a look to see if he had posted any signs on the pumps or even near the cashier’s booth, but didn’t see either. I know that even if I weren’t trying to be frugal, I still wouldn’t pop into that station to fill up. There’s no way I would want to frequent a station who has an owner that doesn’t not pay attention to the details of his business.

How’s that for some gas station follies?
