Pumping gas in JB

[Rocker]

Hi,

 

just want to alert everyone here to be careful when you pump gas in JB. On more than one occasion , I was short changed by the pump attendants. Example when I pump rm$25 worth of gas and handed rm$50 for payment, the attendants will only return rm$15 and quickly tried to walk away. I was lucky to be able to catch hold of the attendants and demanded the exact change to be return to me. This happened to me at least 3 times on different petrol stations(Esso, Shell and Caltex) I believed the attendants are aware that singapore registered cars tend to PFO( pump and F*** off) as quickly as we could so they will try to "cheat".

When I was in KL, I even encountered a attentant printing a recept with the amount returned to me as rm$30 instead of rm$15. I pumped rm$35 and paid rm$50....not sure what he was trying to do and I simply just drove off...

i use credit card in JB for pumping petrol at shell. can get reward points as well but i dun know how to claim.. lol

[Rocker]

I think better not use credit card in JB.....alot of cases reported in the paper of abuse...

funny leh

 

i only get short changed by a few cents. cos sometimes they round up to nearest 10sen

 

sometimes i "short-change" them also when i round down, then give them exact. not once did they complain

 

u driving some luxury car ah?

think you lose out more when you pay by credit card as the exchange rate is not so favourable.

only in stations that is very near to the custom.

Still cheaper than SG petrol station no matter what payment mode.

Not only in JB, in SG oso same,esp when take taxi o pump petrol, Eg when your fare/petrol is $12.80, u give them $50, the driver will give u 20cents first. then give u $7, if u in a hurry n go away, u can bye bye 2 your $30. They will always give u the small change first, so be careful.

When I pump in JB, I always standby RM10, RM5, and RM1 notes in my pockets. This way, you can give them exact amount and not risk having:1) shortchanged 2) relieved of wallet.

definitely but to go there is to save.. so if there's cheaper method, why not..

[Geezer]

they thot every SG'eans rich cos always give tips.so shortchange us.
