Complaint against fraud.
Company: HP petrol pump
Location: Beside hotel 'The Capitol' near Vidhana Soudha, Bangalore
At the first petrol dispensing counter (as you enter the petrol pump), the attendants frequently cheat customers. You ask them to fill, say, Rs.100 worth of petrol. However clearly you say it, one employee will fill only Rs.50 worth of petrol in just about 2 seconds when another employee tries to distract you. Within a blink of an eye, the counter goes from Rs. 0 to Rs.50. When you tell him that you'd asked for Rs.100 worth of petrol, he will apologize saying he didn't hear it properly, and fill the remaining Rs.50 worth. The second Rs.50 petrol will take about 5-10 seconds to fill. You finally end up paying Rs.100 and getting petrol worth far less than that.
This has happened a few times with me and some friends. The cheating procedure has always been the same although the amounts differ. I know for sure that I've been cheated because my bike gives me a mileage of about 50km/litre normally, but when these incidents happen, I get far less mileage than this..
It would be great if, instead of direct questioning, the concerned authorities pose as regular customers and witness this for themselves. I hope they bring these people to book.
