That's harsh, but exactly right.

We have all done some screwy things in our life that have cost us money or
whatever. The difference is, we keep it mostly to ourselves or close
friends.

If this went down as the poster says, it was his fault. Most of us would not
take advantage of such a situation, but there are people who do.

This guy is going to eventually learn that when this kind of thing happens,
don't tell the world on rec.aviation.piloting.

It was unauthorized the guy stole the gas. He should get credited back.


Credit card companies cannot (and will not) ever lose. They represent
the
worst in our economy, ranking right behind insurance and liability issues
as
one of the three biggest detriments to economic growth.

They are middlemen between the customer and the merchant and not really a
party to the transaction, merely a facilitator. Why should they be liable
unless they screwed it up somehow?

The fellow in this case failed to closed the pump. In the same way if he
left his wallet full of cash around, he was grossly negligent.

Too bad, but the fellow needs to grow and an accept responsibility for his
actions. Or it that passe in America anymore?


IMHO, of course!

I gotta opinion 'fer ya right here!!
