...at the gas pump when I stopped for my bi-monthly fill-up. The board read $4.03 per gallon. Compared to the two other stations nearby, this was pratically a steal (in Fairfield County anyway). Until I saw the fine print and realized that I paid $4.19 per gallon with my American Express card. I swiped my card without thinking twice and only realized my error when it was too late.
The moral of the story? Pay attention. Routine chores will cost more, especially if I'm not looking at the fine print.
Now I know...
I should have been paying attention
