2 edits | Error sparks mad dash over 33-cent gas !! said by MSNBC ARTICLE :
An employee closing Trig's Minocqua Shell for the night meant to drop the price of gas by 1 cent.
But he mistakenly dropped a nine from the $3.299 a gallon in the computer, making the price of gas .329 cents Monday night.
He left about 10 p.m., but drivers could still use their credit cards to buy gas.
Those that did got a bargain, and word spread fast.
Forty-two people bought 586 gallons of gas in an hour and 45 minutes.
Local police saw the hoard at the station and called store manager Andrea Reuland.
She went to the station and pushed the emergency stop.
"There were cars two deep at each of my pumps," said Reuland, who knew many of the drivers.
One person had pumped 27 gallons and two purchased 18 gallons.
Manager upset at 'dishonest' people
Reuland told people they were being dishonest — the main store sign had the correct price.
"I was very upset that there's that many dishonest people," she said. "They knew there was a problem, and they took advantage of an employee's mistake and I think that's terrible."
For that many people to be at a rural, northern Wisconsin gas station after 10 p.m. is highly unusual, she said.

Now whats the deal with that?
The manager was upset at people who can't control how much the gas pump charged them?
So what are they supposed to do. Run out of gas go somewhere else to buy gas because of there mistake?
She is crazy! |
