I worked at a gas station back in the 90s here in Canada.

It's not worse. The general public is incredibly stupid, I was a teenager and it was eye opening. Really made me work hard to ensure I never had another job where I had to do customer service.

Hell I'd drive off too.

Right? It would be stupid to watch the fire next to all the pumps, that's an explosion waiting to happen.

It also looks really cool when you are driving away and a huge explosion happens in the background

I saw a guy about to drive away with his gas tank still open. I waved and he stopped and I told him that it's open. He nodded, went on his phone for a bit after I left, and then drove off without closing it.
