Default Gasoline purchase limit?

Man, get this.... Yesterday the wife and I took out the van and it was about empty. So we stopped in at a local Shell station on Capitol Circle to fill the tank. That vehicle has something like a 25 gallon or so tank, so I was expecting around $70 or so to fill it.

Well, the pump shuts off at $50. WTF??? So I walked into the office and some bimbo just said they she didn't know why it did that. But I could bring my card into the office and they would try to run it from there. Yeah, right. It's NOT the card, lady. There's a LOT of headroom on that one..... Someone there set it up that way.

So is the current trend? Prices going through the roof yet we have to have insult added to injury by having a LIMIT on how much gasoline we can buy at a time? What's up with THAT? When I stop for gasoline, I want to fill the tank UP, so I don't have to stop as frequently.

Anyone else ran into this situation?
