Disappointing gas station service

From Media Indonesia

It is very helpful and convenient to have a gasoline station
on Jalan Gajah Mada/Jalan Hayam Wuruk. The strategic location
makes it possible for motorists to fill up their tanks in the
midst of the traffic congestion which occurs there practically
every day.

Friends, however, warned me about this particular gas station.
As they told it, cheating often occurred so that customers ended
up paying for gas that they hadn't received. However, I always
thought it was an unfounded suspicion.

On Sept. 15., I had to buy gas at that particular station
because my tank was almost empty. The strange thing was that,
while he was filling up my tank, the attendant pounded on the
glass protecting the pump's meter. I thought it was merely to
reset the indicator to zero. I paid the attendant Rp 21,000. My
tank was filled up and the meter showed that I had 24 liters.

I continued my trip but imagine my amazement when I discovered
that I had less than ten liters of gasoline in my tank.

I advise consumers who may one day use that gas station to be
careful. To the station's management, I suggest that attention be
paid to the matter and that steps be taken immediately to correct
the situation. The fact that this is the only gas station on that
busy road should not be misused to take in unfair profits.
