CLIFF NOTES AT BOTTOM
I don't know if this should be in the serious corner or tech corner because it involves both. So, my girlfriend and I were on our way back to her house from our scholarship party. When we got back, her mother wanted us to drive to the local 7-11 and buy her some medicine. So, we drove up there and I decided to get gas because the light was on. I pulled up to pump #4, went inside, and paid $20. I went to go pump gas but the damn thing was super slow; I only got 13 cents to pump before I transferred to pump #5.
At pump #5, it was faster than pump #4, but slower than usual. So, after it was finished pumping, I started the car and was on the way back. I felt the car sputter a bit, but I thought it was the road because there were stil snow with gay grooves. My girlfriend asked, "Are you doing that?" as if I were letting the gas go and giving it gas, but I wasn't. We got back to her house and we hung out. When I was getting ready to leave, I tried starting the car, but no luck. A couiple of more cranks and it started up. The bad thing is, it would die like 1 second after start up. I tried pumpin gas but nothing. I figured that water was in the gas when I pumped.
I borrowed my girlfriend's mothers car to drive back up to 7-11 and to report the problem. There was a new shift that was in working, so they didn't know anything. The officer on patrol there knew what happened because I was like the second or third guy to come in. He just told me to come back and talk to the manager tomorrow and try to use some kind of formula that will suck up any water. I got the phone number to that 7-11 and the manager's name. I left, and went back to my girlfriend's house and her uncle suggested that I get the officer's badge number and name.
On the way back, I saw this big blue truck stopped at the four way by the house. I didn't think anything of it, but I got the officer's badge and all the names of the people who were on shift and that were on shift. On the way back, I saw that this big blue truck was getting towed, so I decided to pull over and ask the question "did you just get gas from 7-11"? Turns out he did and will be going to complain soon. So, now the car is stuck there until tomorrow.

CLIFF NOTES:
I pulled up into a 7-11 and pumped 3/4 of a tank of gas. Car sputter a bit but got back safely. Few hours later, I tried to go home, but the car wouldn't start. Went back to that 7-11 with a different car and was told that I was the second or third person to come complain. I got the officer's name who was on patrol and the employees that were/are on shift.
What should I do if that 7-11 isn't going to pay for any damages or repairs?
