Petrol Attendant Abused

Its just best practice to always make sure the pump is zero'ed before they start.

If the nozzle has been put back in it's cradle or there has been too long between filling, the systems won't allow it to add to the total, it has to start from zero.
I once saw a guy getting quite upset because he had a whole lot of containers and part of the way through the attendant took too long so the pump stopped and had to be reset to zero to pump again - he was also a bit of a tosser because he only wanted to pay 1 bill, not 2.

Even so - he could deal with it like an adult. Not like a ****ty little kid that wasn't raised properly.

If a "****ty little kid" spoke to me in that tone...

Anyway, does no one have him on facebook? I would love to troll him.

if that was the case, I'm sure the guy would have said " I asked for R500, he put R300. the ****ing ****, ****, naai, was ****ing robbing me."

it seems like he acknowledges the mistake of the incorrect amount but goes beserk for it and not the fact that he was robbed

Sigh. I looked at the location - Vereeniging - and didn't even bother listening to that prime Afrikaaner Specimen.
That's my valley. They breed them special down there - in cases like that, with a cousin.

I bet his bother uncle spoke to him like that. Probably how they resolve conflict in a family like that... what with everyone under filling each other. I bet its a real issue.
 
would the attendant be so stupid as to put in R300 instead of R500 and think the customer wouldn't notice?

That chap's blood pressure must be through the roof.
 
Did I hear this all wrong?

I picked up that he asked for R500 and the petrol attendant put over R1000 in the tank.

it does happen but I don't think thats the case here.
 
He must have been having a really bad day. Like the movie Changing Lanes

Just so I understand you, you are implying that they are charging him for R500, yet only put R300 in.

I know that at my local Engen on Conrad they (attendants) cannot charge for a cent more than they poured into the car if you're paying by card (like this guy). I wanted to tip an attendant once and didn't have cash on me so I asked him to charge R10 more and he said the system doesn't allow that.

Edit: What I mean to say is, if the system is anything like the one my local uses, the attendant would have benefited nothing by under-filling, or overfilling for that matter.

total allows tip by card, I did it once.

I guess it's not a standard then. That could be problematic. Then I guess you have to check every time. I'm in no way saying the attendant was trying to scam the dude.
