Same thing i saying…… I saw that the service charge is a flat $25. Allyuh fellas hadda be very busy to shell out that when you probably have to pass gas stations just to reach home.
IMO this makes sense for heavy equipment but not for the random driver.

We don't order food delivery for every meal but sometimes a circumstance may require it and we end up ordering delivery from the food place that's not too far away anyway

3% of $200 is $6
but the vendor is supposed to pay that, not the customer afaik

Did you see the charge on your statement? Or as a hold on your online banking?
Sometimes I get a hold for a small amt and it drops off in a few days. Then the actual amount for the gas gets posted.

People said the same thing about food delivery apps and now they are widely used.
It might become a widely used service if the price is right.
Yeah, you know how much times I chilling home on a Sunday and I remember I need to go get gas for the week
You know how hard it does feel to go out the road to just do one thing and come bback home?

Wake up early to put gas ? There’s no gas station enroute to wherever you going ? Maybe it’s my particular location makes it hard for me to understand, within 5 minutes there are 3 gas stations witthin 10 minutes that jumps to about 5.

Owning and driving a car is a responsibility and to be honest if monitoring and filling gas is too much to plan and execute then what else on the car do you not bother with???

You've never been in the office, end up having to work late and realised hey I have to put gas on the way home?
The same way you can also order food delivery at the office so you don't have to go get it on your way home becaue it will be too late to go home and cook.
Using convenience services isn't always necessarily someone shrugging off responsibility.

currently, it's a hold - but it's been there 3 weeks now so i hoping it drops -- sometime!
