I don't really know what everyone is getting their panties in a bunch over. He went in and told the guy what happened. The guy wanted cash, which seems a bit odd, and started to drop the price, which also seemed odd. If it was totally legit and Mr. Seed didn't have any money, it should have been treated like any other auto accident, have a police report made, and turn it into insurance. The gas station didn't do that, so he's off the hook.

Where I live it's posted that here is a fixed price, and that it will be reported to the DMV and your insurance if you don't pay.

After asking a few gas stations, they said its one of two things: the coupler is fine and it twists back together or the coupler is broken and the hose is stretched. One costs nothing. The other costs $300-500.
Now that I think about it, I change my plea: I consider myself lucky and no longer a victim. Lucky that he let me go. Its possible that the hose just reconnected, but its possible that I might be in deeper that $125.
Maybe it IS Karma. I've done quite a bit for strangers, not for reward, but because its the right thing to do. Maybe Karma is paying me back? I'll chalk it up to experience.
(No sarcasm. I'm being honest here.)
