To BP: the meter's running - you spill it, you buy it

by Chellie Pingree

Seeing the picture spreading on the Internet of a sign at a BP gas station with the company policy "you are responsible for all spills" made me think of something.

Let’s say you are filling your car at a BP gas station, the numbers on the pump steadily ticking. But when you pull out the pump you give it an extra squeeze, spilling oil on the ground. The meter on the pump just keeps rolling. In other words, you spill it, you buy it.
