This was posted at the gas station I usually go to in North Sioux City, SD. Maybe they weren’t sure if it should be “your” or “you’re” so they combined the two. Do you think it stops people from driving off and not paying?

It’s a new one all right, although not technically apostrophe abuse. The apostrophe is correctly placed.
It’s still abuse if it’s not necessary or if they’re trying to do it and miss a letter….
Completely and totally unacceptable, though I commend the effort. The way I see it, grammar should be learned in steps. The first is spelling. Then we tackle advanced work, like apostrophes.
