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:
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.
