what does it take to fill up?…geez

So….here in the so called metropolitan area known as Raleigh Durham, I’m noticing more gas stations limiting the amount of gas you can charge to your credit/debit to $75. What was once an annoyance has now become a viral epidemic and I find myself without a full tank of gas but I guess that translates into less drive offs or non-payment somehow.

I mean…at first, I would simply accept it and drive off, perhaps filling up later in the week.  But now….Now I just run my CC again and get the extra 5 to 10 gallons I need to top off the ride.

So what the !@#$ is that supposed to mean?

Doesn’t VISA, MasterCard, Discover, etc charge a service fee each time anyone swipes?  Last time I checked, I wasn’t paying that fee….So now, the jerks who own these stations have to pay double fees if people want to fill up…and let me tell you…when gas is under $4, I top it off.
