went to the night widow of local BP, said to the guy "can you open the pump please" he replied "how much do you want!" i replied "100 litres" he replied "i'll open the pump" i thought der, and replied "that's what i said" talk about monkeys.

he probably open the pump and set it for a delivery of 100L. It won't pump more than the 100L. You asked for the pump to be opened and he replied that he will open it. Pumps are closed at night to stop drive off etc. ASlso he was confirming your request. I think you are the monkey no him.

PMSL, state the obvious - pumps have been closed for YEARS at night. i've asked for YEARS for pumps to be opened and hand over my eftpos card as security - NEVER had a problem until tonight. i was being sarcastic when he asked how much fuel and i told him 100L. your trader name is well suited.

most Ive found wont pump 100 litres, theyre held to 2 figures in dollars not litres (most stop at $99), unless I use my company BP fuel card (unlimited) or Gulls eftpos at pump which is still limited to $150 no matter what the balance of your account

I'm suprised you didnt tell them that coffee doesnt mix well with petrol

When you get annoyed by somebody asking if you want to buy a coffee, you're clenching too tight. Say hi, ask them how their day is going, share the love.you might be surprised.

The thing I hate about BP is you have to wait to get to the pumps because all the people at the pumps are buying coffee

yeah, could be far worse you grumps, it could be you being made to ask these questions.
They are not doing it to annoy you.

FP In a past life I owned 3 takeaway bars. -To give you an Idea how long ago it was the red shed wasn't around and the yellow arches had about 2 stores. If someone ordered a burger and the staff DIDDN'Toffer a drink/fries,ordered a hotdog and diddn't offer cheese and onion They would get a verbal warning first two times andwritten warning on the third offence. Its the extras that make you profit

Unlikely to just be you. In fact I'd say a disproportionate number of people on this MB are the same ;)
But here's the thing most people don't realise: being happy is a conscious choice.

Oh hell yeah I get annoyed. But not about coffee, about REAL stuff. Like why the Home Care lady has to leave the pamphlet at the door not IN THE FECKING LETTERBOX LIKE ITS DESIGNED FOR!

I worked in a petrol station during uni holidays once, standard line was have a nice day.One guy said to me 'don't tell me what sort of day to have'.Thought that was somewhat rude!

The stuff that annoys me is that local government can be billions of dollars in debt yet can afford to plant flower gardens on roundabouts -due for removal in 5 years. What annnoys me is my company pays $7000 a year in rates and we get NBOTHING from it. What annoys me is that our gorvenment passes laws on stuff that has been proven overseas to ALWAYS fail. -and spend my tax money doing it. What annoys me is Government passing laws without taking the time to do propper research. The new emission law comes to mind. The net affect on the enviroment ZERO. The net affect on the average blue collar worker -HUGE> Stuff like someone offering me a chokkie bar when I know its their job.---mehhhh
