I know he claimed that gas stations charging too much to the card is an issue but I've been filling up for personal and work use for a couple decades and have had that happen a total of zero times.

Pretty sure the charging too much thing was just him not understanding pre-auths that hang around for a while. Like you, I’ve literally never had the gas station charge the pre-auth and the actual amount… ever.
But I’ve also never had it eat my card and I understand that the receipt comes after you actually gas up. It GMG when people (I’d say elderly people because they’re the worst for this but it is an all ages thing, too) complain about how something is and how it should change when it’s clear they don’t understand it and have never just asked for help.
Like, you love going into the station so much, ask them to explain to you what a pre-auth is and how it’s different from “agreeing to pay more”. And as I’m assuming said person goes into a physical bank, ask the teller to explain how long pre-auths stay on your account. Pretty simple stuff.

Swap Ontario for literally anywhere. It’s worse when it’s somewhere you live/have lived and know extremely well, for sure, but it’s still absurd when you can just tell it’s a vacation anecdote that’s obviously wrong.
