Gas prices and then some

Ok, so I usually don't post things like this but I decided that everyone needed to be aware of this. Yesterday I had to fill up our truck with gas and I stopped into a gas station I have never used before.. Super Pantry on Stevenson due to the extreme hike in prices yesterday I decided to only put in $21.00..hoping it will go down again (even a little) in the next day or two. Anyways, when I got home I was checking my account and saw that this gas station not only debited my account for the $21.00 I bought (that's fine), they also debited out $76.00!!! as a "drive off insurance" so that if I would not have paid for my gas..(mind you I put in my debit card and pin before pumping) then they could get 76.00 from me. It will take 3-5 days for that debit to come off my account and for me to be refunded my 76.00 that I never authorized in the first place. I have never heard of a gas station doing this. And the employees, and the manager of this station were un-helpful and very rude. I finally had to call Springfield Police to ask for this help in the matter because I was getting no answers or help from the gas station it-self.

So to make it worse not only are gas stations killing our check books with the price of gas, now there taking more money out of our accounts "just in case". So watch your accounts and what gas stations you go to...they do not post that they do this!
