And how many of them have Oregon plates?Costco members are some if the best educated consumers in the USA. Probably the retailer with the highest number of STEM customers.
But I have to ask, why do so many COSTCO members seem clueless everytime they pump their fuel at Costco?
It blows me away a group could be so well educated, very often STEMs from very good universities, but every time they pump fuel, it's like the first time they ever pumped fuel. And of course, they use Costco almost exclusively for their fuel, so it's not like it's a new station to them.
1. The line tends to be shorter, and the fuel line reaches to that side. It's actually encouraged to shorten the overall lines.Two questions for Costco members:
1. Why pull up to the pump that's on the opposite side of your filler neck?
2. Why squeeze the nozzle when you can use the trigger lock?
The license plate fillers were great, had one on my 66 Biscayne. There was a lot of cool stuff on that car, including chrome bumpers directly mounted to the frame so you could sling-tow them without breaking anything.
Lots of fuel nozzles have no lock in my experience. Just answering the question.Why squeeze the nozzle when you can use the trigger lock?
They keep jouncing the trigger to get an exact dollar amount. I lock the trigger on and let'er rip.Lots of fuel nozzles have no lock in my experience. Just answering the question.
1. Normally you get boxed into the wrong pump and can’t navigate where you wantTwo questions for Costco members:

2. Why squeeze the nozzle when you can use the trigger lock?
1. Because they have a sign stating you can do that. If the line is shorter.....why not ? Does not apply to my truck!Two questions for Costco members:

What,……….do they force a union guy to pump your gas and charge you another 20 cents a gallon?And where I live, you’re not allowed to pump it yourself. Go figure.
That’s a NY thing. Do not remember details but I remember looking it up. Like after driving through ny one time, shoving the gas cap into the handle each time, then days later when home, find out why (I think this was pre google days). Want to say it was state law, probably to keep people from walking away? maybe things have changed since then.Lots of fuel nozzles have no lock in my experience. Just answering the question.
What happened? ...some union denied you membership?What,……….do they force a union guy to pump your gas and charge you another 20 cents a gallon?
There is patience, and then there is wasted time. While the first one is a virtue, the second one is priceless, at least to me. I've seen plenty of people who don't value their own time, or other people's time, for that matter. So why be patient with those?Patience. What happened to people having patience? Apparently people want instant EVERYTHING these days.
Some states unfortunately, you don't have a choice.What happened? ...some union denied you membership?
Old man yelling at clouds with racial overtones? I mean why would you assume the customers were in STEM fields? What was the "tip off"?Costco members are some if the best educated consumers in the USA. Probably the retailer with the highest number of STEM customers.

I much prefer passenger side fill because you can leave the driver door open when you're pumping gas and throw out trash and whatever w/out the gas fumes being drawn inside the cabin.Now one of the stupidest was putting the gas fill on the passengers side, like on the Taurus I had.
....What you resist....Persists..... In other words, the only thing you'll change about a situation is the way you decide to react to it. That person trying to pump gas in front of you is exactly what they are.... What can a person do in a situation like that? In my own experience, I try to fill-up when there's less crowds there. When I see the long lines, I decide to either come back later or go to another gas station.There is patience, and then there is wasted time.

That's a problem around here, but for a different reason. Dude has to stay at the pump handle, so he turns his music WAAAY UP so he can continue to listen to whatever.Lots of fuel nozzles have no lock in my experience. Just answering the question.
