A manager at a gas station in California has reportedly been fired from his job after accidentally listing gas at 69 cents per gallon, giving drivers a speedy discount.
John Szczecina ran the Shell gas station in Rancho Cordova and made the costly mistake on June 9.
The former manager says he accidentally put a decimal in the wrong spot while listing the gas price, which should have been $6.99 per gallon.
The blunder, which Szczecina insists was an accident, reportedly cost the gas station between $16,000 and $20,000 and left Szczecina without a job.
“Well, it was a mistake that I did, you know,” Szczecina told KOVR in Sacramento. “And I thought, ‘This is a nightmare.’ I put all three prices on there except the diesel, but the last one kind of didn’t go, you know, right.”…
