It's shocking. Even worse when people fill up their car then go in and order a coffee, then wait and wait....

Or get Subway. What would be the petrol station etiquette? Move your car to the adjacent carpark and then go in and pay?

Plugging the mobile phone into the charger, then returning an hour or so later to grab it and find it's still flat because I forgot to flick the Power switch on the wall ... This is occurring far too frequently for my liking :(

I'd love to know how much business ON THE RUN outlets lose due to people avoiding them due to the long line ups for coffee, especially in the mornings.

They need to either:

Separate the sections, have a cafe in the servo - like Gloria Jeans (?) in Borders.

or

Pre-make coffees, and you have to have one of those



Both wont' happen.

It it's stupid, regardless.

alot if not all servos have a rule you must pay for fuel before moving your car. Yes its a pain but if they are in there for 20 minutes then there is not much you can do. If the rule is DONT move your car before paying for fuel not much people can do.

I hate it when someone pays for their fuel, and then stands there reading magazines that they wont ever pay for and then look at you when your waiting for them to move.

Depending on the set up of the On The Run, some do only accept coffee orders from one counter

Taking the dog out to Lockleys Oval, and see another dog off the leash. Good. Let my mutt off and he starts chasing the ball I've got, and the other dog runs over and the dogs starts "playing". The old bloke waddles over and starts hitting my dog with his walking stick, puts his dog on the leash and pisses off in his car.....

Game on old man ! Next time I see your dog, it's gonna wear the Grey Nicolls with pride.

You're lucky mate, at least you can still blame the kids for taking your mind off things. These days I can only blame age ...... dammit ! ;)
Still, getting older sure beats the alternative !
:D

Speaking of which, 4 family deaths in 1.5 years has definitely given me 'The Sh!ts' big time !!!
