Racket ng mga Gasoline Boy attendant

phalluscolossus

Nadiskubre ko ito. (And how stupid of me..)

Pag nagpapagas kase ako, laging P1000 ang pinakakarga ko. Shell Velocity.

Dati-rati, idinadahilan sa akin ng gas attendant, P900 lang muna ikakarga at another P100 thereafter. Di daw kasi calibrated yung gas pump to fill in P1000.

Wala namang problema dati, dahil P1000 naman yung inaabot na resibo sa akin.

Nagpakarga ako minsan, same gas station P1000. New gas attendant. Sabi ng gas attendant, P500 muna and then another P500 ulit ang pag karga. Tinanong ko kung bakit ganun, dahil dati P900 initial pump and then +P100 again ang ginagawa ninyo dati.

Sagot sa akin, kasi daw pag P900 daw, baka mag overflow at hindi nag o-automatic shut down yung pump pag napuno na. Sabi ko na lang sa sarili ko, unlikely na mag overflow yung P1000 na karga, kase almost empty na yung gas indicator ko at more than P1000 ang full tank (dahil na nga rin sa nagtaas ang gas).

Anyway, so kinargahan niya ng 2x na P500 na gas para total P1000. Binigyan ako ng resibo. Strapped my seatbelt, then andar na kase it's a monday and traffic is hell, don't wanna ba late for work.

Pag uwi ko sa afternoon, nausisa ko yung resibo ng pinag-kargahan ko ng gasolina earlier that morning at napansin ko, P500.00 lang ang niresibo sa akin.

Demmet! Yung gas attendant na yun, binulsa niya yung P500.00 at P500 lang ang ini-abot sa cashier.

Yun na!!!

Really?!! Tsk!! Ako, di na ako humihingi ng resibo kaya I dont know if naloloko ako.. hihihi....but anyway, that's not funny ha?!!

uy, masamang raket yan ah.

from a maintenace point of view, a dispensing pump should not have any problems dispensing 500 pesos worth of any fuel. A regular service station pump is calibrated to dispense up to 10 thousand pesos worth of fuel in one go. isumbong nyo kaagad sa station manager pag ganyan.

amj

bakit kc d magself service....

kyle618

i look at the tank kung puno.. kung lampas pa sa puno it means that full tank na and i didnt get fooled )

shun_sakurai

Bakit di self-service dito 'ka mo? It's because people here will make a job out of anything.

Yun nga lang unscrupulous ang ilan sa mga yan...

--SuperBoy--

ganun ba yun pag hindi nakapagresibo pwedeng ibulsa? e di ba, naka-monitor kung ilang ang inilalabas ng pump? so hindi rin nila pwedeng ibulsa yun? at the most, hindi lang mata-taxan wc is beneficial sa gas station.

correct me if im wrong

eh bro, hindi naman nya mabubulsa iyon kasi automatic na kung ano iyong kinarga mo dun sa pump eh marerecord iyon as sale. so kung hindi nya inabot sa kahera iyon matetrace iyon kung saan kulang.

WHich sehll gas station is this? I have a feeling I know where it is.

I had the same problem before... sa shell katipunan naman... i asked the boy to fill up 1,000 lang... and tapos na and i did not get the receipt...
pag alis ko... di pa umaangat ang gauge where it suppose to be after filling up 1,000 worth of gas...
bumalik ako.... pero walang umamin....

hard to trust people eh

GreatBop

hmmm... i fill up 1k+ sa trooper. pero that incident never happened....

though, i usually pay card..

and even if i pay cash, I LOOK AT THE FREAKING METER, before paying the attendant.. and most times than not, i guess force of habit from the states, i personally go to the cashier. and pay by myself.

which shell katipunan?

going to ateneo, is it the first one (near st ignatius vill w/ digital air pump) or the one nearer to ateneo?

Which Shell Katips? There are three in that area (White Plains, Blue Ridge, and La Vista). I pass that area everyday but i dont gas up there as they're usually higher then the other gas stations by around 5-10 centavos at the average.

Here's a good habit; Make it a point to go down from the car when they gas up so that:
- You can check that they put the proper gas (mamaya diesel yung nalagay, that happened to our driver twice).
- You can check that they have inputed the proper amount
- You can check that they closed your gas cap well (also, if they actually returned your gas cap!).

Actually, ang ninanakawan nila dito yung gas station mismo. Hindi yung customer. They pump the correct value, so tama naman yung naikarga na gas, pero bawas na yung pera pag binayad sa cashier. Siguro, tiniyemuhan ako na nagmamadali at di ko na sinilip resibo, tapos kung sakaling pinuna ko na kulang yung niresibo, magdadahilan lang na "Sorry, sir", tapos resibuhan ka ng tama. Di naman namomonitor ng Cashier yung Gas na kinarga, kase, nasa gas attendant yun at sasabihan lang niya kung magkano ang binili ng customer.

i dont think it works this way. i believe may system na in place which would automatically relay the sales to the cashier.

falsifying receipts? tax evasion maybe.

haha! dun sa 2 stations na to lang ako nagpapagas ever since. shell katipunan near shoppersville (aron shell service station) and shell st. ignatius (ivanson's shell service station).

never encountered any problems. i thought the service was good. they will start by saying "sir nasa 0 na po" tapos iiwan na nila nakasaksak until mapuno. after that bigay na credit card, pirma, and then tapos.

consistent na P800+ and 28-29L full tank ko for the past 10 months. la naman anomalies sa credit card statements kung na swipe sa iba. they also provide friendly service pag nagpapahangin ka ng gulong dun.

nangungurakot ang mga tauhan ng shell..... or ayaw nila matax ng malaki... it is not that they put less fuel in your car... or the management want to earn more from the gasoline business because of stiff competition around....

^Di naman siguro, lahat magkasabwat yung employees of Shell para lang sa tax evasion.

Ano yun? Kargahan nila ng tama yung customer tapos ang resibo kulang? Di ba lugi sila nun. Palagay ko talaga, it was just the gas attendant. Example, pag bumli ka ng langis sa gas station, wala naman paraan para malaman ng kahera na nasa booth katabi ng fuel pump, kung alin klase ng langis at kung ilan litro, unless i-relay ng gas attendant kung anong klase at ilan litro. Saka lang malaman ng kahero kung magkano ang i-charge.

Ganun din "siguro" sa gas, yung attendant sasabihin niya sa cashier na P500 lang ang kinarga na gas, pero ang totoo P1000 ang kinarga, di na niya i-reremit ang P500 at ibulsa na niya. Tapos ang resibo na chinarge ng walang kamuwang muwang na kahero, ay P500 lang.

In other words, estafa, and the gas station is the victim.

not really. my friend owns a Petron station and they don't have a way to check if the pump dispensed the correct amount of fuel. the cashier just relies on the gasoline attendant.

Ever tried reporting it to whoever runs the gas station rather than talk here? If this goes on, eventually, the gas station will shut down while the thieves will drink the supposed profits used for paying the gas station's overall maintenance. Everyone will eventually loose, including the motorists. Better damn one person who is the cause of it all rather than wait for what will be the inconvenience of everyone else. In the end, you could say that you've helped rid of society's unwanted folks.
