My local Shell stations have installed flat-screen televisions on all their pumps thus providing quality entertainment as I fill my tank. However, aside from the occasional weather forecast I don't really find much of interest; and truthfully, I don't care that much about the forecast either. Since I'm already standing outside I already have a pretty good idea of the current weather conditions. I just figure that, most likely, more of the same is on the way.
I do find the greeting rather interesting though. Some Asian looking guy in a lab coat welcomes me to Shell and claims that it's "good to see me". Unless there are hundreds of this little guy scattered about the country, standing inside of each pump, I'm pretty sure that he's never actually "seen" me. Maybe he should say something like "It's good to have you here" or "Thanks for visiting" or "Bend over, you're about to get it in the ass again as we charge you $3.00 for a gallon of gas!" Or, for those gullible enough to think this guy actually does see them, maybe he could try that old trick of "Hey, look! That guy is trying to run off with your car!"

Strange, but when I approach a Shell station, I actually get a live caucasian person who asks if I need help. Perhaps, that Asian guy is there because you took a wrong turn and ended up in a Chinatown clinic. Did you notice the insignia for the 3 min. sex change on his lab coat?
Ordinarily I would say that, given that anyone (Asian, Caucasian or otherwise) came out to ask if you need help (personal aside: it should have been self-evident), you must be the one who made a wrong turn. However, since you live in Mayberry, I'm sure Gomer really did run out and offer to help you. You may have been the first customer he actually could help.
He gave me a nice lcd tv screen that fits nicely in my posh SUV. Strange, but there was a big hole on the side of the pump the same size as the screen. Weird thing is the only thing the screen picks up is this Asian guy in a lab coat. . .
Look inside, will you? I want to konw if that little guy really is inside. Maybe he's Santa Claus.
You can't fool me, there's no Sanity Clause
Honk, honk!
