The manager of a gas station in northern California has been fired after accidentally selling gas for 69-cents per gallon. He mistakenly put the decimal point in the wrong place when punching in prices last Thursday.
Gas was sold for 69-cents per gallon rather than six-dollars, 99-cents per gallon. It took three hours to correct the mistake and cost the gas station 16-thousand-dollars. The gas station wouldn't have lost so much money if people didn't start calling their friends and family and posting the incredibly low price on social media. The man's family has started a GoFundMe account with the goal of raising 16-grand to pay the gas station back.
