Beaten like a dead horse.  Will just say, that's what I call accident-prone.

It is crazy that this went on for 8 months before they stopped it.  Akin to Leisure Suit's idea, I wonder if the station thought they just had one hell of a leak in their tank, and telling people about it was just going to make it worse for them?

Sort of analogous story relating to casino slots from years back.  Some guys found a glitch in Video Poker that allowed them to basically increase their bet after they had won.

They take the casinos for hundreds of thousands, got greedy one day and got caught...and we're found not guilty.  Their argument was that they just used the buttons and UI as is and didn't tamper with the machine so it's not cheating.  The court bought that argument and they walked.

Free pressure washer thread.

Intentionally stealing multiple times thousands in fuel. She is guilty and should hang.

Yes, but I wouldn't call it analogous since legally the casino gets to cheat and has an inherent edge against their customers.
The customer is using the machine to "play" against the casino.

A typical "point of sale" or "service system" does not give the business an inherent edge or advantage over their customers.
It is there for the customer to use to gain access to the service/product the company offers and complete a mutual transaction.

Its kinda like the ATM machine glitch where I request $50 and the machine spits out $500 .  I would put my card back in and try it again until I reached my daily limit or the machine stopped glitching .

I had the opposite experience at a self check out at WalMart.   I asked for $60 cash back.   I got three ones instead of 3  $20's.     Someone loaded ones in the twenty slot and twenties in the one dollar slot.   WM fixed it for me on the spot.   I was there when they opened the machine and saw the fuck up.  I wonder how many people got change that AM and got twenties insteads od ones and just walked.    I would have reported it if I did.  One I am honest and two everything you do is video taped at WM.   They can read license plates in the parking lot.

Of course it is the companies fault. Just like leaving your door unlocked makes it ok for anyone to come in and steal anything they want.

And if the glitch was your home's personal alarm system, and it never went off when you got broken into? Let's say the thieves made off with literally everything in your house because you were away traveling for a month. No big deal, right? Just let them walk, right?

The circumstances of HOW she stole does not change THAT she stole. I'd throw the book at her. She is apparently used to a life of zero accountability. That needs to change. We don't need new laws, we need to enforce the ones we already have.

If it had been a couple fill ups . I think that’s a walk. Akin to if the burger joint accidentally gives you an extra couple burgers or the grocery clerk doesn’t scan the item.

That much gas screams inside job.

Should of used a fake name for the card. Wore a disguise and taken the tag off to pump.

Not sure they'll see it that way.

Is it steeling if someone leaves their car running in their driveway?

And this. You're using a card linked to all of your information.

She did get away with it for a long time though.

So it’s fine to steal if not caught right away?

For example, if the hardware store owner forgets to lock the door when they leave or set the alarm, it’s fine to break in and clean the place out?  After all, it’s their fuck up.

Not the same.

If she took the merch to self pay, and self pay said $0 owed is a better analogy.

So you know the self pay is fucked up and you leave with the merchandise anyways?

That is still stealing.

Once I bought 8 boxes of 9mm and the lady rang one up instead of 8.  I got to the truck and saw the mistake on the receipt, went back in and paid for the other 7 boxes.  If I wouldn’t have, that’s also stealing.  Because I knew I didn’t pay for what I should have.

This isn’t difficult at all if you have a moral compass that works.
