I just move on to another gas station if the card reader is not working. It is annoying when something is broken, and it probably wouldn't hurt if someone took the time to report the outage, perhaps it is not known?My mom was telling me a story about the friends she goes out to eat with. They had stopped for gas and the card reader at the pump wasn't working. The wife apparently wanted to call the station's corporate office. The husband said it was unacceptable, and didn't want to listen on the other way to pay with card (go inside, tell them to authorize the card for something more than what you think it would take to fill, and only the actual amount gets billed). This wasn't a "mom and pop" gas station, but a regional (if not national) chain.
But the issue doesn't need to be reported with rage.
