The Pumps at Kroger

Today I took a trip to Kroger to buy Bar Keepers Friend , which according to reputable sources will clean my Pyrex without scratching (and it works! I just tried it and OMG it works!). 

 

Since a “Fuel Low” warning was coming up when I thought to press reset on the car’s computer, I decided to fuel up while I was there. 

 

A couple of things occurred to me while standing at the pump. One, there is a sticker stating a $75 maximum for paying at the pump with a credit card - unless it is a Visa card in which case the maximum is $50.

 

Kroger, you are not keeping up with the times. Please take the time to examine Exhibit A, my receipt from today: 

If gas proces rise any more we will be eating dog food

The second thing I noticed was this message when I finished and hung up the nozzle: 

 

THANK YOU PLEASE

 

While I was pondering this apparent example of ESL I realized that underneath was the message:

 

TAKE YOUR RECEIPT. 

 

I would have taken a photo but I didn’t want the cute guy on the other side of the pump to think I was taking a photo of him. Yes, it still works that way, even when you are old
