Double-swiping the rewards card led to free gas for months — and a felony theft charge

A Nebraska woman allegedly found a lucrative quirk at a gas station pump — double-swipe the rewards card and get free gas!

Unfortunately for her, you can’t do that, prosecutors said. The 45-year-old woman was arrested March 6 and faces felony theft charges accusing her of a crime that cost the gas station nearly $28,000.

Prosecutors say the woman exploited the system over a period of several months. Police learned of the problem in October when the loss-prevention manager at Bosselman Enterprises reported that the company’s Pump & Pantry in Lincoln had been scammed.

Logically speaking, this has to be a joke. But based on your previous response, I'm not so sure. Please tell me this is a joke and you don't actually believe being rational is a bad thing.

i'm being rational when i tell you that if you hold yourself to a high moral standard and expect your enemy to do the same, you're a fool.

Wow, it's not a joke. You actually think abandoning rationality is a good thing. Kind of explains your position.
