I feel bad, I yelled at church gas today. Two guys decided to idly chat for five minutes in the middle lane of the gas pumps. They were both confused why someone would yell at them for holding up a dozen people just trying to get gas on their lunch break.

I should have just honked. Please forgive me Costco gods.

It's amazing how loving slow so many people are when getting gas. I'm routinely in and out before the person who was already filling up takes the nozzle out.

I once got stuck behind some lunatic who wiped every single thing they touched with individual wipes.

Open the car: wipe the inside handle first
Pull out your membership card: wipe it
Scan your card: wipe it
Open your gas door: wipe the gas cap
etc etc

Absolutely unhinged and outright heretical behavior at the font.

The ones that annoy me the most are the people who don't move up to the front pump when it opens. They just sit in their car staring at their phone or staring straight ahead slack jawed. I don't even bother to honk, I just scoot around them and take the open pump.

Oh, right, most of you live in uncivilized places where you have to pump your own gas. In Oregon you pull up to the pumps and an attendant does the actual gas pumping part for you. Reduces the kind of dipshittery described above quite a lot.

I wonder if they're gonna have someone to plug in EVs at fast charging stations. This would be kind of cool if it's done charging, and they could move my car before I'm done eating or whatever.

This obviously does not apply to Costco (praise be unto Costco), but in practice this means that the one elderly attendant that is operating all sixteen pumps takes a half-hour to pump your gas.

Here’s looking at you, Teal Boulevard Safeway Fuel Station in Beaverton, Oregon.

How about a switch to gas operators instead? You fuel my 14mpg truck while I sit in it and eat a $1.50 hot dog, $3.00 pizza slice in peace, while sipping that cold, delicious Pepsi product. EV can go gently caress themselves. They aren't eating at MY food court anyway.

I think it's all Safeway gas stations. Because they horrifically understaff them.

And Costco is great, because if you do want to expedite the process, you can swipe your Costco card and credit card before the attendant gets to you, at least the Eugene Costco was always chill about that, I guess maybe elsewhere it's different

I take public transit to church :smug: I self-checkout, load up my backpack then breeze on past the line at the door checkers since they don't seem to recognize you as a shopper if you're not pushing a cart. I'm usually in and out in under 10 minutes, and that's if I browse a little.

Tried the yakisoba chicken kit yesterday, pretty tasty and easy to put together if not a little bland, though some crispy garlic chili oil fixed that. Big fan of the peanut butter filled pretzels, dried apricots and coastal cheddar brick; have yet to grab a rotisserie chicken cause I need a separate bag for that due to the potential for juice leakage. Some day they will be mine though...

The chicken bake is overrated, sounds like it used to be better? I skip it and pack my pockets with dogs for the ride home.

Oh they sure as poo poo recognize you if you're just carrying everything in your hands or in one of their free cardboard boxes and you don't have a cart. Which is like, give me a break I can't hold all these limes while you pretend to read my receipt.

No, but I avoid full service pumps whenever possible. There are a couple towns in MA which mandate them and frankly it's not my problem when I'm forced to work there.

Yeah chicken bakes suck now. I feel like they used to have twice the meat and filling in them. Now they're mostly baked bread with a hint of chicken.

Pesto and Italian sausages from Costco tossed with some spaghetti is a pretty solid meal that beats a lot of restaurant pastas i've had, also goes really well with most of the fresh pastas that are usually next to the Pesto.

I am very tempted to probe you for this.

Unless it is one of the rural areas with some level of exemption from the usual ban on self-service or at a commercial refueling station, you are a reprobate. Also, I'm not 100% sure but you could get the attendants in trouble doing this kind of thing.
