An attendant at a Minocqua, WI Shell station made a small data entry error when setting the pump price before closing time, and it clearly had an adverse affect on the day's receipts. The worker meant to drop the per-gallon price one cent from the $3.299 it had been set at. Instead, the trailing 9 was removed, which changed the price to $0.329. Even though the station was closed, the pumps were still on for credit card purchases, and it didn't take too long for drivers to take advantage and spread the word. Some 586 gallons were purchased by 42 people in the hour and forty-five minutes the erroneous pricing was in play. The feeding frenzy came to an end after police, noticing an unusual amount of traffic at the rural station, called the owner, who returned and shut off the pumps. It sounds like the employee who made the error is off the hook, as the owner termed it "an honest mistake" that even she could have made. She's less pleased with the locals who took advantage of the unintentional super-duper sale pricing, whom she chastised for being dishonest. Pe scurt si pe romaneste...angajatul de la statia de benzina...a uitat sa intre un numar - la pretul benzinei...practic facuind-o de la 3.299 galonul...la 0.329 dolari galonul. De vreo 10 ori mai ieftina. Nebuneala a durat vreo ora si 45 min cind s-a prins politia ca e trafic prea mare la pompe (benzinaria era inchisa) dar puteai cumpara cu cartea de credit. -------------------- Schumi drive it like you stole it !
