A local petrol purchaser left the service station baffled today as the servo cashier processed their fuel purchase without also spruiking a spontaneous 9000 calorie splurge.
Often regarded as the place where the most depressing purchases happen, service stations usually feature a score of 2 for 1 deals and price reductions that almost make their absorbent pricing structures affordable.
In every instance this also involves the servo worker spruiking an energy drink/chocolate bar combo like they are a mysterious market dweller with an oiled beer and unctuous voice suited to selling their particularly procured oddities to weary travellers.
However, for Vola Tierney (42) of Betoota Heights, this traditional transaction went off script as the servo worker of indeterminate age simply charged Tierney for her fuel and wished her a good day.
“I thought for sure he was going to try and sell me to traveller pies for $5,” stated Tierney, who usually braces for impact before the traditional servo sales pitch.
“I’m not trying to read too much into it but does he think I’m too fat and wouldn’t need any more calories? Or is it the other way around, does he think I clearly wouldn’t eat that shit so why bother?”
“I just don’t know! What the fuck was that guy’s problem?”
