Fascinating blog op

This is a thread to discuss the idiotic/poor decisions of other drivers as a community that you observe. 4chan is not a blog, and this post is not a blog post.

Let's go over payment methods.
>cash
Have to go inside, wait, pre-pay fuel, pump, and either not pump a full amount or go back inside for change. Pass.

>Debit
I swipe my debit card. The gas station puts a hold on my debit card for $75-$150 that remains for days. If someone installed a skimmer in the gas pump, and they use my card for fraud, and I don't notice the charge within 48 hours of it being made, I'm liable for up to $500 per charge.

>credit
I swipe my credit card and pump fuel. I get 5% cashback at any gas station of any brand. If someone steals my credit card info, I am not liable for any fraudulent charges. I pay no more than I would on debit or with cash since I pay my bill in full each month.

Only a luddite or criminal would use cash, and only a fool would use debit.

When you pay for gas witch credit different stations do all kinds of weird shit like placing large dollar holds or not processing at all until as much as a week later. That shit drives me nuts.

Ad hominem attacks are not real arguments, friend.

>>14146372
I'm not even that guy you replied to but whatever you said prior is not "proper reasoning" you're just paranoid to the point where you're mentally ill

Go try and be smart somewhere else

Just because you have a shitty bank doesn't mean the rest of us do.

People forgetting how to drive in winter time, or believing that winter tires are the best thing since sliced bread.

this is a bank issue, not a debit issue. what garbage bank do you have?

>>14146316
>>people who pay for gas with cash or debit instead of credit
I stared paying with my credit card, but would regularly forget to clear the debt in full each month so when back to paying with the debt card.

It looks like America just has shitty banks. I bet they even charge you a monthly fee for the privilege of having them hold onto your money, too.

I live next to a gas station that has gas cheaper if you pay with cash.

tl;dr Criminals can compromise readers and then generate fake EMV transactions at ATMs and other terminals that look cryptographically sound to your bank. Your bank insists that your chip/pin was used and you get stuck with the fraudster's bills on your account.

>>14146316
Full serve is great when you don't want to get out of the car. Like my grandpa.
I'm in a country without toll roads. Even if I go across the border, getting an EZ pass or similar system makes no sense.
Rice is always retarded, not just on old cars.

Or, in sane countries:

>arrive at pump
>pump gas
>go inside
>pay
I have a costumer card, so I always get that 5% (usually more) discount regardless of payment method.

>costumer card

That's kind of cool i guess, what kind of costumes do you wear?

>>14146994
>costumer card
>constantly dressing up like a child on halloween to procure a 5 percent discount
In the US, my credit card does that for me, and most gas stations offer a discount for having a loyalty card beyond that.

Customer card. Jesus guys, I'm on my phone and quite drunk. Didn't know it was called a loyalty card in proper English.

This is an issue with using a debit card at the most fundamental level. If your Debit Card is compromised, then your source of income is directly affected. Your bank will investigate and deal with the matter, yeah, but you're shit out of luck until they do, so if you've got bills due, guess how fucked you are.

A Credit Card is an extra layer of protection to your money. With a credit car, you're not held liable for the charges until the payment is actually due for that statement date, (which basically means about a month). Even still, once you report the charges, the credit card company will remove them from your account during the course of the investigation.

That's not even mentioning the NUMEROUS benefits that a credit card has over a debit card. Seriously, there is ZERO legitimate, practical reason to use a debit card over a credit card.

Get a better fucking bank you twit.

>>14146351
>I pay no more than I would on debit or with cash
Sometimes you get a discount at gas stations if you pay with cash. I know where I live, there was one station that would take $.05 off the gas price if you paid with cash.
