Gas Station Manager Fired After Setting Price at 69 Cents 

Not only did he sacrifice his job to give many people basically free gas, but he also made the price *the funny.* Protect this man at all costs

Put this man in the history books, our true legend

69 cents per gallon? 1. Nice.. 2. I respect this man for owning up, not blaming anyone but himself.

1. Helping his community with cheaper prices 2. Blaming nobody other then himself 3. He has my respect

The fact he admitted to it without blaming anyone makes me respect him.

Was honest, admitted his mistake and took full ownership without blaming others. Based off these qualities alone this man will find another job

That was totally intentional. Will always respect someone willing to sacrifice themselves for the meme. Modern day martyr. What a legend

I'm really sorry for the guy for losing his job, but I'm definitely not sorry for the gas company for losing all that money.

Of course he’s not going to admit to doing it on purpose. That would be a ton of legal trouble for him if he admitted to it

Can we just take a moment to realize that the gas was gonna be $6.99 otherwise? That’s absolutely ridiculous.

I think this manager was just doing the public a solid. Thanks sir

1:37 I don’t know the circumstances of the guy in the red shirt-whether he’s referring to an ex-girlfriend or ex-wife-but the fact that he called the mother of his children to let her know about the cheap gas price that day shows that he cared about her enough to help her save money.

A honest mistake. Praying this man finds a better job, that understands we're human.

This guy has a great attitude and didn't try to blame anyone else. Much respect!

He sacrificed himself for us. This guy is a legend!

“Did you do this on purpose?” Manager: “Oh no, no no no.” I’m having trouble believing it wasn’t on purpose…

This guy has a nice attitude, admitted his mistake without complaint, and has a good sense of humor. Be like John.

Hope this man finds a job quickly. So his family doesn’t have to suffer. I understand this mistake it was costly to the company. But we’re human we make mistakes.

The legend we didn’t even know we needed.

Man sacrificed his job for the best prank in a while, mad props to this dude.

I can see he was legitimately shocked by his "mistake". I salute you, good sir!

That would have been a lawsuit if he would have openly admitted to setting the price at $0.69. Either way, he helped people whether realizing it or not, God bless him.

I respect that manager.

Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed.

this guy is a time traveler, he brought us back to 1978 what a legend 💪🏿👏🏾

We need more employees like this.

This man will be remembered by the community.

I have seen employees cost a business wayyy wayyyyy more than that and still retain their job. The company had no reason to fire him because of a political agenda that drove the amount of “dollars” needed to exchange for a product up to unattainable levels. Fire the one(s) pushing the agenda. Fix the root cause.

Truthfully, he shouldn’t have gotten fired for mistakenly setting the price to 69 cents. I guarantee no one in the world wants to pay $7 a gallon for fuel to go to work or a trip. He’s a legend we need.

Not only helping his community, but being an absolute memelord in the process. Absolute legend.

This guy should be hailed as a hero!

This man is an absolute gigamegaChad and he must be protected

We should all aspire to be like this man. Humility is a hard characteristic to come by.

A costly mistake that helped so many people in need. I hope this man finds a new job quickly

aw man hope this guy finds another job he seems like a nice guy

I feel bad for him, the owner did lose thousands of dollars, if you didn’t know gas stations must purchase the gas before it’s sold and they make a percent which isn’t much. I hope he finds employment soon. I’m a gas station worker as well

I respect him for owning up to his mistake, not blaming anyone, and stating that he would have fired himself for the same mistake. You just don't see that kind of honesty, wisdom, and maturity anymore; and I'm especially shocked to see that kind of a person living in CA.

What type of question is that??? He just lost his job! Why the hell would be a stunt?! He can even get sued. 🤦‍♂

He needs absolute praise for not only admitting his mistake but also being a chad setting the price to 69 Its a shame he is fired

Not the hero we deserve but def the one we need

yes. he made a mistake. but give the guy his job back. he admitted he screwed up, apologized and leaned an important lesson. give him another chance. people cannot be unemployed in this economy. i wouldn’t have had the heart to fire someone rn. seems like a decent man, too. he’s actually a marketing genius, if only in error.

I hope the manager is doing well now. He seems hella chill and cool

Someone give this man a better job. Better than a gas station manager!

*That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.*

People need to understand this... Even if it was an accident, unfortunately at any job if you cost your company $16,000 you can pretty much guarantee your walking papers

The hero we need and the hero we dont deserve

You can see on his face , the mistake he made took its toll

A living legend. God bless him. Hope he finds a new job.

The fact that he's on live and talking about it shows his level of both honesty and humility. I wish him well.

He knew what he did and he a legend for it🙏

A true hero bless his soul

Absolutely legendary. We need more of this positivity in the world. We need Walmart to mess up on some prices like this. So we can finally get over on the big corporate monsters

This man is a hero he should be applauded for trying to help us out while we're being robbed by corporations

Mad respect for taking full responsability for this dumb mistake.

Fun Fact: Shell Oil just managed to get their hands on an obscenely large amount of Russian oil at the lowest price in recorded history while still charging higher and higher prices for fuel.

Not only an ex gas station manager but also a meme lord.

He’s not the hero we deserve, but he’s the hero we need right now!

God bless this man. He saved many people money that day

Not only this is a funny number but also unacceptable!

Imagine if every single gas station manager in the US did this all at once. It'd be interesting to see the impact such a sudden change would make on the economy

he should have gotten a raise

This was intentional. This man is a hero

THIS MAN IS A TRUE LEGENDAND SHALL GO IN THE BOOKS FOR ONE OF THE BIGGEST MADLADS EVER AND I WILL STAND BY THAT TILL THE DAY I DIE

I hope that manager gets a new job quickly, especially if he has a family to take care of. Everyone makes mistakes, and the gas station he worked at sure got a whole lot of customers. Some great things have happened as a result of mistakes before. That's in California too where gas is by far the most expensive in the U.S

He probably did it on purpose. Absolute madlad.

what a legend the guy is i respect him

A true legend and meme lord, respect man ✊✊✊

Kind sir, mistake or not, we thank you. I didn’t get any gas, but I know the happiness you started at those pumps will spread for days if not months across the world or at least the country. I believe you might have made the world a much better place. God Bless you.

RIP our Legend😔

Bro is a legend for making the gas prices a funny number. nice

This mans deserves all the respect

y'know, that was a blessing for many. even at the cost of the man's job, it definitely helped put a lot of people and with a company like shell, that's barely noticeable if at all for a one off thing

“Was this a stunt?” “Oh no not at all” *wears sinister grin*

Calculated this out based on another article that said this was like this for 3 hours. It boils down to 14.11 gallons per minute. Obviously from multiple pumps flowing.

The guy is owning it, as he should and NOT blaming someone else which is all too prevalent these days.

This was on purpose. This man is a meme lord. When he said "Oh no, Not at all" it was not convincing in the slightest that he did not find this humorous.

How the hell do the employees not notice that you have all these people coming in to suddenly buy gas and yet only buying $13/$14 worth at a time wouldn't you think something is up?

The hero we need, but not the one we deserve

True legend bro.

Well to be fair no one wants to pay over $5 for gas this man is truly a legend that should be remembered throughout history

Not only was he a legend for putting the funny number up top, he is also a hero for saving so much money for hundreds of families trying to survive during inflation. We salute this man! Edit: I also realized that he changed the price of the most expensive kind of gas. Dude really has the balls.

That man is just a legend, and the fact that it happened to be 69 just makes it more perfect

The hero we needed

What a legend. You will forever be remembered in the history books. Peoples’ champion. Protect him at all costs. A modern day hero and most importantly he will be remembered as a good man

Oh wow... you poor people...

This man is a legend, he gave people extremely cheap gas and also made it the best number in existance.

The amount of respect I have for this man

this madman can't be stopped

Someone must've driven out of there thinking this was a heist.

This man may have been fired, but he will always remain a legend to all who hear of his story.

not only giving free gas but having a sense of humor,respect this man edit:thanks so much for almost 200 likes! 2nd edit:omg you guys almost 600!!

thank you sir best troll this year

He said if you want something done u gotta do it your self 😂

what a legend this guy is, not only did he lower the gas prices but he made it 69 cents, he doesn’t deserve to be fired, he deserves to own that damn gas station

Crazy how the boss couldn’t take this as an opportunity to get some good PR as a way to giving back to the community.

A real hero

And nobody was honest enough to tell them there was a mistake at the pump.

This has happened to me before where an attendant was one decimal too short and I was paying less than a dollar per gallon that day. I filled up on 5 dollars and still had change left over. I acted like I didn't notice when I saw how many gallons were being put into the tank vs the dollar amount I was getting to, It seemed super slow but in reality the gas was flowing. The man across from me figured it out shortly after me and began shouting in joy for how much he was paying per gallon. I'll never forget that day as I was a broke college kid commuting my way to class that day. I was so stoned out of my mind that I thought I was going to be in trouble for continuing to pump after the attendant told everyone to hang up their pumps and start over, but the opportunity was so great I couldn't resist. I remember peeling out of there before the cops were somehow going to be called and force me to pay the real amount I had pumped, the weed had me real paranoid lol. I only used 3 dollars and some change out of the 5 dollars I put on the pump and because of the paranoia, I chickened out of asking for the difference back, which they probably wouldn't have given anyways considering I had just pumped about 10 gallons in my tank. Luck usually never finds me but we had a pleasant encounter that day.

Gas: *69 cents* Everyone with a car: 🚗🏃💨

This man needs to be protected at all costs.
