As a part of life, we all have to pump gas at some point to get somewhere. At least in today’s world we have gas terminals that take debit and they are great because you don’t have to face the angry person in the gas booth who is pissed you had the nerve to make them ring something in. However, there is one place that totally sucks for this in every way possible and that is Esso. Esso has the slowest and most annoying terminals of any gas station out there and to top it off some locations even make you suffer through some terrible commercials as you pump the gas

The pumps are too slow

I don’t know why they felt it was neccesary to make them so slow but have you ever noticed that it’ll be going along fine and then a dollar before the amount you pre entered it slows to a crawl and those last 100 cents take a minute! With it now being winter this is exceptionally annoying! New Sunoco and Petro Canada stations stop almost right on the amount or only 20 cents from the final tally which is way more acceptable!

The pump asks you 20 questions before you get to pump your gas

• Do you have esso points? no
• Do you want a carwash? no
• Do you want a reciept? no
• Do you want to fill up to $100? no

Then we get to the point finally….

• Enter the amount you would like: 20
• Account?
• Pin?
• Select grade
• Lift nozzle

Then! 10 minutes later when it went from $19 to $20 it prints a receipt anyways even though you said no and beeps until you take it!

The commercials are awful
Ok so they have commercials playing to make money yet still charge the same amount as everyone else for gas while having crappier gas pumps then everyone else….AND THE COMMERIALS ARE TERRIBLE. You never see these super shit bottom of the budget commercials on real tv but when you use ESSO and be their customer here you go! Right where you can’t get away from them!

Thanks Esso!

that is all.
