Weird Experience with Ingles (Brevard, Rosman: prices, shop, cheapest)

[SunnyKayak]

I was up in the area to go kayaking up the french broad river at Rosman NC
and we stopped to get gas in Brevard. We saw Ingles had a gas station and I never have seen a grocery chain have a gas station so that is the place we went to fill up. While pumping the gas over the speaker I heard someone say I need assistance at register 14. I was like register 14 how big is this gas station. lol. I thought it was funny they have that going over the gas station speakers what a hoot. I guess it to keep the attendant in the loop of whats going on in the store just never heard anything like it.

It is a hoot to be pumping gas and hear someone ask for a "price check". We stop for gas at our Ingles all the time since they're normally the cheapest around. Spending time in England every year we normally shop at the same grocery store and it's a very similar set up...grocery store on one end of the carpark with a gas station at the exit..it's the same thing with their intercom system as well. Funniest thing was to hear the cafe attendant call for someone to "pick up two cod and chips please".

Hope you enjoyed your trip!

Marketing Technique I would say.

Better than same inane music I don't want to listen to, as some stations here in FL do.

First time I heard the PA I was a bit startled too. I also asked myself, Why?
Still cant figure out the right answer.

Another bit of advice on Ingles, pay attention to the price on the shelf and the price on the receipt. About 1 in 3 trips I am charged the wrong price. Especially on Sunday mornings. They run their specials/sales Sunday-Saturday and have big problems with the cutover to the new prices
