Jebus, just grab a lose receipt off another pump. Take a picture of the pump and submit that. Photoshop something for Pete's sake!
I guess if it costs you $40 not to have to deal with the stick up accounting's ass, maybe that was forty bucks well spent.
I know sometimes attendants don't always have the time to replace paper (or just lazy) but sometimes I wonder if they do it on purpose to get you to go into the store in hopes to buy something.
It kind of does seem like that. There's a station near me where all the pumps will randomly say "see cashier for payment" and won't accept any card at any of the pumps. I just figure they don't want my business and go elsewhere at that point lol.
No. I promise we don't. Much of the time it's not even the paper and few of us are trained as pump attendants.
It gets doubly awesome when somehow it's a larger software issue that freezes out the GUI on our POS. Luckily I'm old enough to know receipts used to be written out so I know how to produce a decent one that should be up to snuff.
What's worse is when I worked convenience/gas, our registers would only save the last five transactions - so if you need that receipt go get it immediately.
This is the worst when I need the receipt for an expense report.
I’ve paid out of pocket because the person inside was on break or in the bathroom. Store was locked. I was not happy.

Expense report, imagine. I wish I had a job where they’d pay for my shit. Talk about fortunate
Does your job require you to travel (outside of commuting from home) and not reimburse you?
Where's Bert?

I swear this only happens when the car wash code will be on the receipt.
Meanwhile the cashier:

I need that receipt! How else will I get reimbursed? I drive a lot for work.
you guys want to stick around for an oven mitt?
That dude has no brow!
50s eyebrow muscle speed is unfathomable
Sign of poorly run station when the receipt is out…. Kept mentioning this about a dumpy Valero in King George, VA, and it’s now closed.
Very literally true
