A petrol station employee in Bang Rakam district, Phitsanulok province, allegedly pretended to pump fuel but did not dispense any petrol before attempting to collect payment, prompting a customer to capture the incident on video.
A Facebook page known for exposing such incidents, อยากดังเดี๋ยวจัดให้ รีเทริน์ part 7, highlighted a complaint from a customer about a specific petrol station in Bang Rakam district. The video shared by the customer has sparked significant attention and caution among other users.
The customer recounted the incident, advising others to be vigilant when refuelling. According to the customer, the employee inserted the nozzle into the car, then took a brief seat, and later returned with a bottle of water, ready to collect payment. The customer noticed that no petrol had been dispensed and confronted the employee.
In the video, the customer can be heard telling the employee he’d caught him out.
“You haven’t even pumped any petrol for me yet, kid. This is a joke.”
The employee, appearing somewhat flustered, then proceeded to dispense the petrol after being confronted.
Upon questioning, the employee claimed there was a malfunction with the pump, which supposedly caused the issue. The customer briefly acknowledged the explanation before driving away from the station.
The incident occurred at a petrol station on the way into Bang Rakam, just before the Bang Rakam River bridge on the left-hand side. The customer shared their experience, urging others to be cautious and observant when refuelling to avoid being scammed.
The video has since gone viral, with many social media users expressing their concerns and sharing similar experiences. The post on the Facebook page has garnered numerous comments, with people discussing the need for more stringent checks and accountability at petrol stations.
While the employee’s explanation of a pump malfunction might be plausible, the incident has raised questions about the integrity of service at the station. Many users have suggested that petrol stations should implement better training and monitoring systems to prevent such occurrences in the future, reported KhaoSod.
