$1.95

Well i pulled into the Kroger gas station after work this afternoon and the experience was amazing. I strolled up to the gas pump and what transpired next literally brought tears to my eyes. Here's how it went down:

Pump: Are you a Kroger Plus member?

Me: Why yes, Pump, I am a Kroger Plus member.

Pump: Please insert your Kroger Plus card.

Me: (scan my keychain card)

Pump: Please select payment method.

Me: Why i'll pay outside, thankyou, debit.

Pump: Please insert debit card.

Me: (slide my card in and out) There you go Pump.

Pump: Please enter your PIN.

Me: why certainly, my PIN is ****.

Pump: Remove pump or select fuel grade to begin.

Me: Why do you always say that Pump? You know i cant select my fuel grade before i remove the pump. Why dont you say remove pump AND select fuel grade to begin? Saying OR emplies that i have a choice, and is a bit misleading. Anyway, i'll take regular unleaded, as if i could get leaded if i wanted too.

Pump: Regular you say? that will be $1.95/gallon.

Me: (openly weeping) thank you, Pump. We havn't always seen eye-to-eye, but this means alot, and i wont forget it. (insert pump into tank and fill untill full)

Pump: That will be $28.04. Please take your reciept.

Me: Thank you so much, Pump. I love you. And thank YOU Mr. President. God bless you George W. Bush, and God bless America!
