Volume 1: The Great Beginning

How am I supposed to pay for anything here at all if there's no one to ring me up?!

Concerned, YN re-read the left out placard, and this time, noticed some smaller text next to an arrow on it towards the bottom.

"For all non-alcoholic purchases, please feel free to try our self-check out!"

Pointed in the direction, YN saw a lone kiosk set up for just that over to the side.

YN: Well... It didn't say anything about you couldn't ring up fuel on it either.

Taking the chance, he figured it must all be legitimate. This store and fuel station were obviously part of a chain of some kind, it was just one he hadn't seen before.

YN: Okay... I'm on pump two... so lets get some fuel ready for that one...

Following the prompts, he was asked how much fuel he wanted to authorize for the pump.

Ah! I don't know how big the tank is on the car! I don't want to just leave behind fuel I paid for...

Technically, it was on the charge card, so he wouldn't be out on his personal funds, but still, it felt wrong.

I think there's a fuel can in the back of the car actually... I saw it in there when I grabbed my jacket.

Since the car was loaned to him, YN wasn't entirely familiar with everything inside it. Whoever had it before, had left various items in the cargo area, under the seats, and in the glove compartment. Still, it left plenty of room for his own stuff he was taking on this journey, so it mattered little to him. If he could get some use out of the extra stuff, so be it.

Swiping the card for his purchases, he walked out of the convenience store with the gimmick solar phone charger, the food that would constitute his dinner and maybe something for an emergency, and his receipt for the fuel.

With one last look into his wallet, he sighed, seeing as he only had two bills left inside the fold.

I really hope the next store I come across can still take cards.

Throwing his bag of goodies into back bench seat of the car, YN grabbed ahold of the fuel pump, and after holding the handle to the start the flow, the pumps meter flipped to all zeros, and began to go up from there, slowly counting higher as more fuel was added into the tank.

A few minutes later, the pump clicked off with the tank full, but so far, there was still some left he could pump for what he paid.

Let's grab that fuel-can I saw back here...

Retrieved from the back, he set it on the ground, and filled it a little less then halfway before the pump turned off for good.

YN: Well, it'll be a little extra just in case I need it.

While it was only a fraction of what the tank held, he figured it was good to not waste it.

All set, he got back into the car, and drove it far enough just to get to a parking spot on the side of the store. From here, he plugged his phone into the new charger, and let it tickle change from what little power the charger had in it already.

Not like there's any sun to let it change itself from anyway. It's going to be dark until morning.

In the meantime, he ate what was his dinner, and actually went about turning his phone on.

Like he was expected to do, he opened his educational app, watched a short video, took a short test, and that was that.

I'm glad that's taken care of.
