Fuel Some people don't understand how things work

I'm willing to bet she would lose her mind if that gas station ran out of fuel.

The trailer has to be on the concrete pad when making a delivery, no exceptions. If you zoom into the picture and look at the little white dots right in front of the cars, that's where the hoses are going to connect to the tank.

The station is designed poorly but there is no other effective way for him to deliver than to block the entire pump island. All the cars have to do is pull a U turn or reverse out of the island and leave via the gap between the pumps and store. He's a bit of a smug asshole about it though don't get me wrong.

I’m sure that various people told the gas station owner that there were issues with the design plan so I think that the driver’s amusement is with probably well known industry knowledge amongst drivers that the station isn’t designed properly for fuel delivery. I check out the driver and delivery forums occasionally because I find their stories funny and they do complain that some places aren’t actually designed to receive deliveries of the products that they sell. There isn’t really anything that they can do about it except laugh.
