Well, I drive a sedan, so I will just assume they’re a bad driver.

why people are so against pumping gas on the opposite side at Costco?

They're not sure it will work...but it will.

May 9, 11:10am

Agreed. I don't understand it, but I take full advantage of it.

dilbert

90% of the time I am on the other side. Hoses are plenty long.

I'll never pump on the other side. I've got 3 minutes.

May 9, 11:14am

Because it's literally against the law. Have you even read the Constitution?

RSL

The Costco stalls are tight enough that someone pumping on the wrong side can

It’s not THAT tight of a space. Are people really that bad of drivers?

coug719

May 9, 11:17am

Just yesterday a dude in a truck couldn't wait and pumped from the wrong side.

Truck guys

It's not the "wrong side." They're specifically designed to be used on both sides. Many have signs saying so.

Byron McNertney

so if you get clipped by a car trying to drive past you, you won't complain?

The locations I go to all have enough room for people to get through.

John Doe

May 9, 11:23am

Yeah I've never seen a problem in dozens of Costco locations

RUNBYU1

I have never had a problem exiting even with people pumping on “wrong” side on

I’ve never seen that happen

Why do people waste their time driving to Costco for gas?

WJCougar

May 9, 11:17am

It's a block away from the next nearest station but has prices 30-40 cents cheaper.

byuluvr

May 9, 11:19am

Yeah if it's close it makes total sense, around here in NV it's usually $0.50 cheaper than average so save $10 on 20 gal

dingus79

May 9, 11:22am

Of course, but the question is why people drive miles past four other gas

Mitty

If you can save two bucks by spending an extra 15 minutes, you take that every

I had the most quintessential 'old people' discussion the other day with my dad

EEcougar

May 9, 11:54am

I rarely wait in line, the gas is cheaper and I get 4% cash back. And I am at

Junior Deputy

Most people already drive to Costco plenty so gas is not out of the way

Tell me you have a car worth scratching without telling me

HoustonCougar

May 9, 11:17am

Yeah... That isn't it

Cougar TD

May 9, 11:18am

If you're scratching your car that's a you problem. It's not which pump you're using.

byuluvr

May 9, 11:20am

I love it. I never have to wait either. I just stretch it over the bed of my truck.

You and this equally brave LinkedIn Poster should meet up.

Taking an alternate path that Maverik set up for you is blazing your own path?

This is the secret I took to becoming a multi-millionaire: it started with Maverik self-checkout*

Correct side > incorrect side > waiting

Pro Logic

More gas stations should have the hose long enough to pump on the other side

Skeptical Optimist

May 9, 11:26am

That's one of the reasons I'm glad I drive a Subaru is that the gas tank fills

drbear

May 9, 11:33am

Doesn’t make up for the other reason though

stoils

May 9, 11:47am

I pulled into a Maverick the other day on the wrong side

EEcougar

May 9, 11:47am

Yeah they have clear signage indicating "pump from both sides". Baffles me.

creameryon9th

May 9, 11:54am

You're in the way of people going down the center to an open pump.

SoCalCoug

May 9, 12:09pm

Only if you stand there the whole time and are fat

Solomon Levi

Costco disagrees.

Byron McNertney

I bet you drive the speed limit in the passing lane, too.

SoCalCoug

May 9, 12:11pm

Easy solution: Buy a car with the gas cap on the right side.

Abe Froman

May 9, 12:16pm

Or the dumb people who wait until both cars are done
