Repeat Offender

The amazing thing is that the insane, disjunct series of words in the middle of the pump does convey the idea that you should proceed to the attendant indoors if you plan to pay for your gasoline transaction with cash.

We were even inclined to cut Valero some slack, thinking that perhaps they were a foreign company, new to the U.S. marketplace and having some difficulty with the translation (see also "Unlead"). Alas, they are headquartered in the good ol' U.S. of A. in San Antonio, Texas.

And so, dear readers, the Grammar Vultures must hereby propose our first boycott against irresponsible signage. Until Valero can post some instructions, signs, and labels that make some damn sense, we urge you to please shop elsewhere for your gasoline.

Remember that if you support bad grammar, you let the terrorists win.
