I know bp did it for a while down my way, then canned it. stolen cards being used maybe? bit stupid to get rid of it because of such a small percentage problem imo.

you can pay at the pump at any quix mobil store.

thankyou and please come again(indian accent)

[PURVIE]

Yeah Quix \ Mobil let you pay at the pump, it so much easier but IMO I dont think too many people use it? I used it the other day when there was a 10 person wait at the counter, sooo much easier! Only thing ive noticed is that you cannot use your credit card even though it gives you the option, it prompts you for a PIN number, which I dont have, can you get a PIN number for a credit account?

Well done mate for not jumping the counter and knocking him out.

I would of ask if that was his car parked outside, then bought and icecream..

I remember when I worked at a roadhouse WE used to FILL UP THE CAR FOR YOU!

Did you used to put the in correct fuel in as well???

Happened to me at the Mobile in Myrtleford.

The bloke walks out opens the cap and starts pumping regular unleaded before I even made it to that side of the car.

When I notice its regular and not premium I asked him WTF. He stopped and started pumping premium and I told him to stop at $20.

That got me to Bright where I filled up with Shell.

I find it worse than those bastards that wash windows at intersections.

This was when it was leaded, unleaded or diesel no other choices. Made it easy.

Most service station attendants with an indian background are mostly uni students from either India or Pakistan. It is true that alot of them are employed on the basis they pay for any drive-offs during there shifts which would seem highly ileagl under industrial law. I wonder if a waitress pays for the meal after there customers take off without paying but I doubt it.

We should all be paying before we pump, though in some more conveinient manner like paying at the pump. This would avoid the additional amount we all pay for those that steal fuel. And this theft of fuel requires a police investigation each everytime it is reported.

But throughout Sydney servo's there now appears an indian of some sort or another. How annoying they've become.

I once got told off for entering a servo via the exit path, it was midweek in Clayfield about 1992 about 1am on a thursday morning, I just laughed and walked out, I might of said more if the eyeballs weren't hanging out of my head from lack of sleep

Simple fact is they are willing to work....if only all aussies had the same mindset.
