webfact Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 video screenshot Thai Rath published a video of a Nissan driver casually driving off after getting 700 baht's worth of gas at a PTT station in Niwet sub-district of Roi-Et in Thailand's north east. The driver had requested the Benzin 91 from the staffer who went to attend to another customer. When he returned and pulled out the nozzle the Nissan - with a young man behind the wheel - just drove off not waiting for the filler cap to be closed.

Popular Post worgeordie Posted May 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2022 I believe this is happening a lot in the West, criminals filling up and driving off without paying, but I bet the gas stations are not making their staff pay for the stolen gas. regards worgeordie 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SatEng Posted May 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2022 I am quite careful now about checking the bill or the change I get. If I am short-changed I put it down to human error and ask for it to be corrected, but surprisingly it is quite often that I get too much change or there is an item missing from the bill. While sometimes in the West you might just shrug it off, I know that in Thailand the server or assistant will likely get charged for any error and the money taken out of their wages, even for things that are not their fault - so I always make sure I am honest about it - and also get much better service the next time 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She handed me the change and I carefully counted it then handed her back the 100 Baht that I owed her. It's an easy mistake to make. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in a petrol station in the UK and the 'pump boys' had to make up any shortfall in cash at the end of the shift when the till was checked against sales. Most weeks I lost money. Mind you, this was many years ago when Noah was a young lad. Not sure that there are any pump attendants in the UK any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFishman1 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I went into a gas station the other day and when I tell the guy what octane a few I wanted for the car within a second I get out of my car he has the pump handle in the tank and says look I put 100 and and then I stopped it I said to him I told you to fill it up why would you just put 100 in it and stop it this all happened within less than three seconds so I know there’s no way he could’ve put 100 inThe car that quick but I didn’t wanna are you the guy I think he scammed me out of 100 now what I do is I pull up and I don’t tell him which octane I want until I actually get out and look at the pump before he starts TIT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no pump attendants in 1980 at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnative Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Ridiculous to make the poorly-paid pump attendant have to pay for a customer breaking the law. I worked at a college library. Luckily, I didn't have to pay if a student stole a book. I doubt store clerks have to pay for merchandise customers steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE1 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Back in the 90s I was working in Mobile Alabama , and there was similar incidents to this at smaller fuel stations ( no cameras etc) So they changed the policy to pay before you got the fuel .

In Thailand many business are like that. Only safe way to staff is have prepay system in fuel station ! Maybe this Nissan stolen too ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks ridiculous, but there's a good reason for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
