A petrol station attendant was caught red-handed cheating a customer by not dispensing the full amount of fuel paid for.

The customer, who had requested 200 baht worth of fuel, noticed that only 100 baht was dispensed. Despite attempts by the attendant to rectify the situation by adding more fuel, the customer confronted them before any further action could be taken. The incident led to the immediate dismissal of the attendant by the petrol station owner once they became aware of the misconduct.
