A Facebook user shared her experience of a Shell petrol station in Salak South scamming her and few others by raising the petrol price by double the original amount per liter.
Martina Abu Hanifa was on her way to work when she noticed that she was almost out of petrol, she then stopped by a petrol station that was on the way to her workplace. As per normal, she paid RM15 to the Bangladeshi worker at the counter, but when she started pumping the petrol, she noticed that only 3.67 liters was pumped into her tank but the total amount charged was RM15.
She figured this must be an error, she walked over to the counter and noticed another individual was already furiously complaining about something. When she confronted the worker, he can only answer that the price has been raised, and he asked her to double check the pump.
When she went to her car to check she was shocked to see the amount was written 409.0 sen/liter.
“Eh, how much is one liter now? It can’t be 4.09, right?”
The Bangladeshi worker only answered,
“I don’t know miss, the petrol price raised today, the government raised it and they did the settings to the machine.”
When asked to contact the boss, the worker refused to do so, only saying that the boss has returned home and he can’t do anything about it.
At this point, another man who pumped 20 liters of petrol and got charged RM130 on his credit card confronted the worker and demanded to talk to the boss.
The Bangladeshi worker finally gave in and contacted the boss, but the boss had the guts to hang up during mid-call.
Blood boiling in Martina, she wanted to smash the glass window separating the worker and the others outside apparently to ‘teach’ him a lesson. She quickly called her colleague to help her to call any nearby police station to bring some authorities over.
Right when she finished her conversation with her colleague, she saw the worker paying the man back his money, the man said,
“Return her money to her too (referring to Martina), she needs to go to work.”
Luckily for Martina, she is the type to double check the meter when pumping petrol if not, she would just go on her way without knowing the truth.
