Did ya get petrol or diesel

greenpilot

I was in a Gala petrol station today grabbing a coffee, and when I went to the cashier to pay this voice roared out from a speaker at the till " Did ya get petrol or Diesel?" in the best Mayo accent. I actually jumped and then said to the girl WTF?
Apparently, this happens in many if the stores and is automatic. Does this not seem a tad ridiculous? Cant the cashier not ask themselves? Or maybe is this some hidden right wing way if dealing with overseas folk with bad English.
This happens with every transaction. Me, I would rip the fcucking speaker from the wall. Crazy stuff.

Speak Now

If it was for oversea folk with bad English it would hardly be in a Mayo accent.

Yeah it seems so stupid. Seen it in a few garages.

1 reason could be so many people drive out with out paying at the till on purpose or some just forget. It can rule out the option of saying "sure you didnt ask me"

and yes the staff can ask the customer but alot of the time some staff doesnt even tell you how much it is they just take your money...

after hearing it all day every day it must go through their heads

I hate it when you got to the till in a garage to buy something. Usually goes like this

Me: (Place items on counter) Just that please
Them : Did you get petrol or diesel
Me: Dafuq I just say

I get a full tank of diesel, every other day or so (the job covers big miles) one day, I called in to a Topaz, filled the tank with 60 or 70 euro worth of diesel.

Walking into the garage, to pay for diesel my mobile Rang. It was a customer with an order and a few queries etc. So 10 mins later I got off the phone, made my way into the garage where I headed straight to the coffee dock. Poured my self a nice cup of coffee, added milk/sugar etc. I Walked towards the deli counter, ordered a tuna sandwich, and while that was being made, I checked my phone briefly for new emails from work.

Then I walked over to cash register and paid for my coffee and Sanger.

I forgot about the diesel with the various distractions, but twenty minutes later, East bound on the N7, blue lights flashed me from behind.

That automatic voice doesn't bother me anymore.

Your underestimating how stupid/forgetful a lot of people are. Also robbing scumbags would love nothing more for you not to ask them so they drive out of the forecourt with a free tank, then IF the guards come knocking then they will just say, ah sorry boss, I forgot about that.

"Will you be having any bread products today at all sir?" is worse. But give it time.
