I never ceased to be amazed by how stupid the retards at the local BP are.

Went to fill up the Silver Bullet, ready for trip up to Keswick tomorrow. Decided, against my better judgement, to use the local BP. I try to avoid them, as they are complete rather retarded morons. But I was on vapour, and the next nearest (20m round trip) would mean having to fight the Silverstone traffic.

Now, half the pumps are out of order, apparently as they have run out of fuel in some tanks. So have to queue for ages to get to LPG pump, as everyone is going for the diesel/petrol pumps in same lane.

Connect up, it starts well enough, but gets slower and slower and slower and...  ...you get the picture.  In the end, the pump starts ticking, then it cuts out. 40l.

FFS. So, go in to pay for that bit, and planned to come back and have another go to fill it.  So pay for it, mention the symptoms...

BP: "Sounds like its run out, we've had to turn off some pumps as we've run out"
Me: "Didn't you think to order more?"
BP: "Yes, once we realised, we've order it, but it takes time"
Me: "Didn't you prempt it being busy then"
BP: "It has been very busy, not sure why, must be the weather"
Me: "Ah, so nothing to do with that major event 5 miles up the road then"
BP: sound of cogs turning, then the light bulb comes on
BP "Oh yeah, that would cause it to be busy"
Me: Unrepeatable

Out of 100 million sperm, how the break could these be the fastest.

Effing useless inbred retards.


Another 10,000 miles of rubber wasted decorating their forecourt carpark.

I spended a load of rear tyre at the local Tesco forecourt a while back when I pulled up and after waiting in heavy queues to be told there was NO UNLEADED.

No 'A' boards, no posters, no hand written signs, not even the usual "out of order" things they hang on the pumps.

I dont use that forecourt anymore and go to my local Asda (about 4 miles).

[albitz]

Im sure they mean well, dont be too hard on them.

[Osprey]

Don't worry - they're only temporary, while they wait for their start date at the DVLA.

I can't believe they rely on them to do anything more than swipe cards and try to sell you useless toss when all you want is a tank of fuel. Surely important stuff like the levels in the tanks, sales volumes, status of each pump, etc. is centrally monitored and automatically triggers tanker deliveries and maintenance, etc? It damn well would if I was running the show.

Might it not be that the teachers not doing their jobs properly (provably their only interest being how easy to make their own jobs and yet have a more than reasonable salary and pension) which would result in properly educated children which in turn leads to an educated workforce have a little bit to do with it?
Common sense is something they are short of in that profession cos they cannot see past their own nose ends!

No. They are useless, retarded inbred idiots. They always have been, they always will be.

You'd like to think so. Maybe thats the problem, if it is central, maybe it cannot use local knowledge that 100,000 people are visiting Silverstone every day on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and even more on Sunday.

FFS, it ain't rocket science.  I know I'm just the stupid kid from the local comprehensive, but even I would be able to guess that they would need more stocks.


But then, last time I had "to have a chat" with the supervisor, I was thinking to myself, if this is the best they have....

[TheBoy]

Its not like its cheap either. 78.9p  (although their boards say 79.9p, but they were too retarded to understand that concept when I pointed it out).



Grrrrrr 

[Martian]

No. They are useless, retarded inbred idiots. They always have been, they always will be.

More likely the minimum wage paycheck means they couldn't give a toss whether you get good service or not.

I actually give them more credit than that.  I think they genuinely try. But fail.
