Malfunction sells gas at super bargain
Jim Duke, manager of the Dill Food Mart, said he checked it out Thursday after watching an unusually large crowd gassing up at one particular pump Wednesday afternoon.
"I was inside and they were paying at the pump and nobody came in so nobody told me what was happening," Duke told WOAI-AM.
He found to his chagrin that "a decimal point had slipped" and instead of selling premium gas for $3.89 a gallon, the pump was dispensing it for 38 cents a gallon.
"We lost a lot of money," Duke said, although he wasn't sure how much.
Business was way down at that pump Thursday afternoon.

Just remember that when his kids have to miss supper because of some thief stole form him. It is no difference than walking in and taken money out of the till.

.38 gallon of gas...
At that price, I wouldn't have said a thing either--it's the store's manager's job to get off his duff and check the pumps regularly. What, customers are now supposed to the job they're hired to do? Are you kidding me?!
What a joke. You lost money because you were lazy, buddy.
