I went to gas station and put the gas in my car last week.
And I felt my car didn't have enough air in tire then.
So I got the staff of the gas staion to pump air into tires.
After a few minutes he told me I have a flat tire.
But I could't remember the reason.
He said the air leakage spot was irrepairability and I had to change tires right now.
Clearly,that's weird.
So I checked tire at auto-repair shop.
Mechanic dipped the tire into water.
But leakage air didn't generate at all.
That means the tire wasn't flat.
The staff told a lie.
Why did he need to tell a lie?
I think he wanted to make money by changing new tires.
He is cunning!
I never go to the gas station.

That sucks. :< It's unfortunate, but some places are like that. It's best to get a second opinion on things if you think something is up. Glad you did so.

Odo-san
The gas price of that gas station is cheaper than other ones.
Strangely enough,there are not enough customers.
I think all gas staffs play dirty to make money.
Haha.
