like I said earlier, don't take it personal, it's what they do on a Daily Basis. Next time just stand your ground and attract as much attention as you can, they'll comport.

PS: the manager knows all these and will take it out of their salary as he said but they'll recover the money tomorrow and the cycle continues.

Stormyharper:
Why is that country fvck up? Why is it average nigerians can't wait to cheat you out of your money they can't wait to scammed others? How do these people sleep at night?

Imagine going to buy fuel and it ends up wrecking your day? Smh

pocohantas:
How do they even pull it off? I was livid.

Asking me useless questions like I am a learner.

MejiLoyon:
E no go pass all those mumu upcoming filling stations.
I swear you deserve an award for what you did. I'm so happy that you were smart enough to detect and even punish the thieving mollusc.

I watch my distance covered before I fill my tank due to my accountability nature. I also do so in order to know if the consumption is malfunctioning. Anyway na habit. In this light everytime I want to fill I check,and fill it with 11000 worth and 1500 injector cleaner. Even the guy selling once he sees me he does it without asking. A day came I met someone else at the nozzle. Wetin concern me I just said put 11000 with injector cleaner. After sometime he said he was done. The indicator went a notch past half. Bros why na. This thing no full. The guy just started insulting me in Yoruba. Na question I ask na insult he bring. I was speaking English O. Trying to calm down na so the guy insult my mama join. Na there my control fuse blow. I just reverse block the "in" gate, parked, wound up my glasses, went to the guy and dealt him a resounding slap. That day they saw hell. Them beg me with fuel. Use keg carry am from pump go their gate top my fuel with hose I no still gree. That day for them be like Christmas. Them enjoy my weyrey. Omo since then na nnpc O. Unless when better owu blow me wey no cash na him I dey use others.

Pele poco. Use nnpc next time

It's not just fuel, it's almost in everything we do daily. I bought some (A lot)things from a mall only to discover that the attendant slightly increased the quantity of some of the items I bought and it reflected in the receipt/invoice.

This has happened to me 3 times and in every case, it was resolved amicably.
Might be coincidence but I really don't care, I just wouldn't consciously allow myself to be cheated afterall these are just the few times I bothered to check the receipt. Who can say for sure if I haven't been cheated a couple of times out of impatience, ignorance or neglect?

I have painstakingly learnt to not take these events personal cos it happens more frequently than one can imagine.

Stormyharper:


Na wa o. What is the way forward?

May God help us and the entire Nigerians. We moaned about corruption blamed the government but average Nigerians are corrupt just simple groceries till attendant is thinking of cheating you out of your money.

That cant be coincidence trust me... what i don't understand is people waking up in the morning & thinking of who to cheat or scam.

What is the way forward for Nigeria it can't continue like this

Stormyharper:


Na wa ooo it is well. What is the way forward cuz this one tire me

femi4:
I m interested in the part that N3000 filled your tank. How mange

zabimaru:


Lolz, it's the way it is. Some claim they do it for survival, some do it as a chronic habit and some do it for fun.
As for the government part, I am of the opinion that we get the government we deserve, it's still people like us that get appointed and elected, in the end the same people that fought the demons of corruption become greater demons themselves. Our strength as a country has become our greatest weakness - The ability to quickly adapt. We adapt too easily to anything everything and quickly too.

In the same gas station, when you make too much noise about this kind of thing, a fellow customer will come and tell you to calm down and forget the matter, some will even tell you to move your car that you are blocking them from buying fuel.
In that case you already know that if you choose not to patronize them again, 10more new people will show up to fill your space there.

In other words, the exception has become the norm and we have once again adapted

pocohantas:


You really know them. More reason I don’t regret my action. If you do the soft way, 10 other customers are impatiently waiting to buy theirs. Losing you is nothing to them, but I won’t lose my money and thank God I didn’t.

They didn’t even seem like people that were ready to sue or whatever I saw people insinuate here. They have probably seen worse and have provisions for such.

ivolt:
Many filling stations attendants are crooks.
But you technically "robbed" the filling station of their POS.
If they take it up, you may end up in jail.

Kondomatic:
Those guys blow air into tanks, I have no idea how they do it.

pocohantas:
I have been hearing of this scenario that plays out in fuel stations, but I didn’t know my day is coming.

ChiefSosa:

Bros na everybody taya. If I sabi the way forward you feel say I go loud am for public??
