Outside, he had zeroed the pump, but it still showed 3.59.9. I thought
the price would be 3.49.9 since I was paying cash.

Went back inside. He said no. It would be 3.69.9 if I used a credit
card.

What do you all think? What would you do?

Pretty much the way all that use the cash difference discount do it that
I've seen.

There was a place 5 blocks from my home, an Exxon, that charged more for
credit, but I'm 99% sure their signs made that clear, and how much each
cost, before one pulled in.

Other than these two, I don't remember any discouts for cash.

What I'd do would all depend on many factors...how badly I need the fuel
at the moment,

Was worried I'd run out of gas while taking a person to the airport, but
the low-gas-light hadn't even come on yet.

how the price compared to where I normally did business

I can't keep track.

and whether had any cash as I don't have/use a debit card.

I had both.

As a general rule I don't frequent those places as generally one can
find stations that don't surcharge at equivalent or near-so prices so
there's no point in it. Excepting for travel, all our fuel is bought at
the bulk distributorship on account excepting for what Lynda puts in her
car using the Dillons grocery discount. That 10-cent off pump price
ends up generally at about 2 or 3 less than the billed price from the
distributor.

I told them I wanted my money back and even though I'd turned down the
receipt 4 minutes earlier, because I was sure I wouldn't need it, he
gave me the 40 dollars with no trouble. After all, he just works
there.

On the way out, I looked at another customer's pump and he was paying
the 10cents more.
