Once in a lifetime opportunity...

...but i couldnt do it

I work at a gas station and i see many cars, mostly the basic civic or taurus, we do get a couple porsches and once i filled up a viper. I dont work at a typical gas station like hess or mobil, i work at a convience store with a gas station attach to it called Wawa (you kno what im talkin about ppl from south NJ, PA, and DE)

Back to my story, Yesterday i worked 2-10 and it was very busy that day, it was around 9 and slow when i saw a BMW Z4 covertible. the guy came out and it must have been his first time at a Wawa. he ask my to fill up his car with premium (yes i live in NJ and there is no self-serve), then he ask me weirdest question.

"I want to go in the store, should i leave my keys with you in case if you had to move it"

I was really temped to say yes, but there are many cameras around and i didnt want to lose my job. he was in the store for about 10 mins so i could have driven it around the block before he got back. the worst part is that nothin like that will probably happen again.

Hahaha.. maybe if it was a z8.. :biggrin:

Obviously a very trusting individual.
Or heavily insured and wants out of his lease.....

Still, remember, do unto others.........

Good on you for you honesty.

You know with hindsight being 20/20 and all, The guy was cool and trusting enough to leave you his keys, if you asked he MAY have been cool enough to let you take it for a quick spin around the block with him in it. If he ever comes there again, it is probably worth asking. (Of course on the contrary he could be a violent killer and this is his method of luring new prey)

Oh well, better luck next time.

Mark -> Always the optimist... :)

Never say never :)

Yes it was cool that you could have driven his car for a few feet. However, its just a Z4. You can go to the BMW dealership and take one on a test drive.

^ much better/safer/leagaler idea ^

I hate full service stations. Fucking ripoff.

:iagree:
How lazy can people get? I prefer to do my own pumping and windshield washing anyway.
It's New Jersey law that attendants must fuel your vehicle. It sucks, and it's REALLY awkward when you're on your bike and they're pumping.

He probably was willing to give you the keys because it was a stolen car...haha man would that have sucked.

Some places require you to be 21.

Oh, and a lot of places now photocopy your license. I had to go out with a guy friend of mine, and we had to put on an act like we were actually married in order to get to drive... and at that, we still had to have a good story going about what else we had considered and stuff... Run a search for "Test drive" started by me... GREAT story.

They make test driving cars WAAAY too tough. But then again i see why they do that especially after reading saturn tangerine's story. It was hilarious, here's the link if anyone wants to read it. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=39713&highlight=test+drive

Annoying sales persons-especially BMW people. It was pretty funny, when the PT Cruiser first came out-"IF YOU TEST DROVE IT, YOU HAD TO BUY IT"-salesman (no offence, i know some people on AF are sales people)

Good on you for you honesty.

:lol2:

I test Drove a Z4, eh.

here is oregon it is the same way but if a bike wants to fill it themself then by all means let them mst gas attendants dont make enough in a year to pay for a custom paint job.......i managed a gas station once but before i was a manager i was an attendant and had tons of porshe bmw benz couple ferraris few vipers but my favorite of all time was when a regular customer came in at about 8:30 pm in a 34 mercedes roadster i belive he was smoking a cig so he jumped out and the car wasnt close enough to the pump so i asked him if he could move up.... he just looked at me and said go ahead i was like wh wha what no way.
he just said get in turn the key put your foot on the break put it in dri i ended up interupting him and say ya i get it i know how to drive...

sorry for the long post
and for everyone that says gas attendant suk it rains 8-9 months of the year here do you really want to get out and pump gas???
just a thought...........and it doesnt cost anymore in oregon then washington or cali
