How Fuel Attendance Are Exploiting People by johnnobles: 1:23pm On Mar 26, 2017
I went to a particular filling station sometimes ago to buy fuel of 2000 naira and the young lady sold 2 litres and I told her I actually needed 2000 naira fuel, without resetting the pump, she sold me a fuel of 1710, a litre of fuel being 145 naira, thereby gaining the 2 litres (290#) to herself. It was when I left I noticed the cheat. Again I went to another filling station yesterday to buy Diesel of 5000 naira, the young man sold 5 litres, again I told him ' no I need diesel of 5k without resetting he sold leftover amount, after much protest and upon telling him to recall his pump screan he was now begging. Those fuel attendance could be terrible.

Very simple. Instead if resetting the pump before filling the balance, she just continued filing and stopped at 1,710 with u thinking she rubbed off the previous sale.

It happened to me once, I told an attendant I wanted 1,500 fuel, the crook sold be 500 naira (abeg how 500 and 1,500 take resemble). I quickly noticed he was trying to play smart but I kept quiet. I then told him I wanted 1,500.. he said 'oh sorry'. Without rubbing the meter, he continued selling and stopped at 1,000 thinking I didn't notice. I gave the idiot 1,000... He looked at me and I looked at him waiting for him to tell me my money was not complete before I deal with him. On seeing my face I'm sure in his mind he would be like 'this one na bad market'. He didn't say anything and I drove off.
