Well, the most riotess gasoline experience on my cross continent trip earlier this year was in Skagway, AK. I had learned lots about pay at the pump places and could complete that transaction about 95% of the time, but at Skagway, I found a gas station with NO attendant. I`ve never been compelled to pay at the pump at gas stations out east.
I drove around town a good 3 times before I found someone else at the pumps. & she walked me through that one. I didn`t even think of total $, I just wanted gas so I wouldn`t have to stop in Watson Lake heading south.
What still has me sputtering was the attitude of the US Customs person. Rude is a light term for his outlook. I`m used to crossing with my father and my step mother from Lubec, ME to Campolbello, NB and exchanging pleasantries about me (the Canadian citizen) having been born in the US and my father and stepmodther (the American citizens) being born in Canada. After all in that part of the world family histories often run on both sides of the border. But Skagway critter used term expatriate as if my choosing Canada was criminal. I didn`t tell him he wasn`t doing tourism any favours.
