Small change withheld

I have experienced unpleasantries several times when buying fuel at gas stations. I bought ten liters of diesel oil for Rp 380 per liter, so I had to pay Rp 3,800. I gave the gas attendant a Rp 5000 banknote and he gave me Rp 1000 as change, instead of Rp 1200. Rp 200 was withheld.

On another occasion in another gas station I experienced a similar case. When I asked the attendant what happened to my change he returned it but looked embarrassed.

I suggest that gas stations have small change available, or give the buyer a little more gas to compensate the lost small change.
