So earlier at 5.40ish pm today, i was at esso along telok blangah towards harbourfront to pump my petrol. While at the counter to make payment, the uncle in front of me had a dispute with the cashier. He had claimed that he only asked for $30 worth of petrol while the pump attendant had pumped full tank.
This is a repeat of the fuel 10/full tank incident- remember the $10 bmw guy? The cashiers told me that the pump attendant REPEATEDLY asked him how much he wanted to pump and he said full tank. However at the cashier, he insisted that he only asked for $30.
When the cashiers asked him to speak with the manager, he refused! Why would a person who claims he is right not want to speak to the higher authority?? Seems suspicious right..And aft 10% discount he paid $27 for $90 worth of petrol. When the pump attendant attended to me, he repeated aft me too..im sure this is a protocol to prevent such disputes especially after the $10 bmw guy’s story went viral..
The poor pump attendant will have the $60 deducted off his pay i was told. The pump attendant looked a bit special to me (minor autism or minor down syndrome look- im not sure this part and im not being judgemental. This is just a guess. He could be normal.) But the uncle probably thought he could make a fool out of other people. Seriously if there were 10 of such others, how much would be deducted from the pump attendant’s pay. They are not earning much to begin with..How can we ensure that this does not happen to them? Record the convo before pumping in case of dispute??
Collect the amount first before pumping?? This is absolutely ridiculous to me. Uncle, so u got free petrol ah? Does that make u happy while making others miserable. Damn *ssh*le right. Do grab on free petrol by fooling the pump attendant? SJN4894T u better be careful of karma.
(Please help to share this post in the hopes that the poor pump attendant will not be penalised and that he need not pay the $60 difference.)
