"Push the button."

[George K]

Mrs. George and I crossed the Cheddar Curtain today to visit D2. I had enough gas to get up there (about 100 miles), but I knew I'd have to gas up for the trip home.

So, after we left her place, I went to Kwik Trip (yeah, it's a 'Sconnie thing) to fill up.

I pulled up to the pump, swiped my credit card, and the screen said, "Push button, remove handle, and begin fueling."

But, where's the button?

I wanted to pump premium, and I pushed all three of these "buttons."

Nothing happened.

Frustrated, I finally put accepted my humility, and asked the 'Sconnie at the next pump what I was doing wrong. I told him that no button was responding to my request.

He showed me that the "button" was here....

Oh, of course. Push the LEVER on the housing of the handle of the pump. In Wisconsin, that's what we call a "button."

F'ing Cheddarheads.

That’s to confuse the FIBs.

Actually, that was my first thought, LOL.

My rental car had Illinois plates on it. Felt like I had a target painted on my back.

We went out for lunch (that's another thread for later), and I drove. D2 said, "We should've taken my car."

That's what you get for reading directions.

Why does the screen say "Pizza"???

Screens at gas stations are used for advertising as well.

Usually one of the buttons on the right of the screen mutes that shit. FYI.

Yup.

One gas station around here plays a world news service on screens at the pumps.

Yep, we've got one of those.

And we have some pumps like George posted, except ours say to push the lever.
