Disappointing gas station service

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.
