REALLY!!! They had the nerve to charge him .45 cents for using his debit card!
I urge all using credit cards at the pumps to check your statements carefully each month... I was double billed for a transaction at Shell in salisbury last month... I usually dont check my statement carefully but did that month... I dont blame the gas station but the electronics in the pumps... beware folks!!
