A gas station in California 'turned into a circus' after glitch only charged people 69 cents a gallon amid high prices

People rushed to a local gas station in Rancho Cordova, California, after a glitch caused prices to drop to 69 cents a gallon.

CBS 13 reported that the glitch occurred at a Shell gas station on Thursday. When people found out, they informed their family and friends about the low price, with one person, Eddie Surita, describing the scene as turning "into a circus within a matter of minutes," per the outlet.

Darryl Surita, who posted the low price on his Instagram, told the news station that due to the error, he only paid $14 to fill up his tank.

"I looked at the numbers and it was 69 cents a gallon," he told the outlet. "So you know what I did, I hit that button, and it started pumping, and the dollar sign just stayed low."

According to local news reports, the employees were unaware of the mistake for about three hours.

Hmmm... ???:

A gas station manager who raised over $20,000 to make up for a mistake that cost him his job says company refuses to accept the money

A gas station manager who raised funds to pay back his former employer after mistakenly setting a discounted price said the company has declined to accept the money.

John Szczecina lost his job after charging 69 cents a gallon on premium gas at a Shell gas station in Rancho Cordova, California. The gas station reportedly lost $20,000 after hundreds of cars took advantage of the low price.

To repay the station owners, Szczecina's sister started a GoFundMe, which raised more than $24,000.

"He doesn't have to pay it back," Jackson told the Washington Post. "But just the fact that he is doing it and wants to do it shows a lot of character and honesty and responsibility, and I'm really proud of him for that."

Szczecina told ABC30 he was worried about getting sued by the station owners. Business attorney Craig Simmermon told CBS Sacramento that Szczecina would be protected from liability from a mistake performing normal job duties

"The only way he would be responsible outside of a written agreement is if he was acting outside the scope of his employment," Simmermon told CBS Sacramento. "For instance, if his boss said 'whatever you do, don't ever set the price on that gas pump,' and then he did."

The company that owns the station said in a letter to Szczecina that they "will not accept" the funds raised by Szczecina's family and friends.

"To be clear, at no time has the Company told you that it intends to seek payment from you to reimburse that Company's losses. Nor does the Company intend to take any legal action against you in connection with the incorrect fuel pricing incident. The Company does not want the money raised and will not accept it," the letter reads, local news outlet KCRA3 reported.
