That’s well above minimum wage and even the median GDP. I think you still made out okay.

I definitely feel better about standing out in the cold wasting time. S.B. – you are correct I suppose I should think about things a little differently. It’s time to think more positively about situations like this one.

You went to one gas station, probably the most convenient. It didn’t work which you couldn’t have known. So then you were forced to go to another gas station. Not a big deal at all. Just an annoyance.

But these things are hard to predict, like you couldn’t have known which pumps were working or not.

And then driven to another gas station to save $13.00? If I didn’t need gas and was only there to use the rewards and it really was freezing cold, I would have left and went home then tried to again the next day.

It just seems like a case of bad luck. Obviously if something doesn’t work the first time, you try again, so you probably would have tried it two times anyway. And then it makes sense that another pump wouldn’t do the same error, so of course I would have tried a different pump. And logically, I would have asked the cashier to help if I was having problems. My first thought would not have been to drive to another gas station simply because it cancelled my transaction once. Like i said, i don’t think you did anything wrong in this case…just an example of bad luck
