    Oh how I long for the days when you could pull in,get your fuel and go.Now you have to wait whilst the arsebundler who is on the bowser gets his double decaf light soy frappacinno and something to eat

    If your going to get coffee,move your bloody car off the bowser.

    Haha Courty I was thinking the same thing about banks you use to be able to pop in and make a deposit and get out, today I deposited some cash was met at the door by a greeter asked if they could help blah blah blah , I said just need to make a deposit after some small talk I got away from her after being shown where the teller is, then had to endure more forced small talk from the teller who tried to sell me everything from savings accounts to life insurance. Then stopped again by the greeter on the way out, I think I preferred it when banks didn’t give a @#$% lol

    These people just don't understand that there is other people in the world apart from them.

    If I am at the servo and it's busy, I will move the car/ute when I have filled up then go in and pay so that the person behind me can start filling up their car without having to wait for me. It's called common courtesy. Often times people will say "Thank you" for moving my car and I say ,

    "Yeah no worries, you'd do the same for me wouldn't you ? "

    I get some funny looks some times.

    It's actually illegal to move the car before you pay for the fuel apparently. There was something on tv about it a few years back. I had a lady move her car from a busy servo so I could fill up while she paid, but the attendant refused to turn the pump on until the previous person that moved her car had paid. Pretty dumb though.

    There was a hob knob from the servo industry on the radio the other day and apparently servos only make money on the extra's they sell in the shop, he reckons if they only sold fuel they would all go broke ,

    pull the other one it plays jingle bells

    As a former service station worker in South Auckland NZ, I can honestly say, all h3ll would've broken loose if a person got in there car to move it from the forcourt. 9 times out of 10, they wouldn't have stopped driving.
    Mind you, we never had customers lined up for the "bowsers".

    Yad reckon if someone was gonna do a runner they just would anyway ay? I move for people. It is the law though so when people dont move I dont get all upset....I do however if their fu**ing about. I got upt one day at a BP for moving, the cashier was quite abrupt and rude and fairly giving it to me also making a show of me (of himself more like it, musta been having a bad day) I laughed loudly and told him I simply don't give a stuff if its law, get over it and walked out still laughing. Now I know it seemed harsh cause the poor buggers just doing what he's being paid to do but it was his attitude that had me covering up my boiling blood with laughter.....just cause its the law doesnt mean its right."

    Well here's the thing.

    You see I have a pet theory. Being that if the servos can't get ppl to work for them then they will start dropping their prices. I reckon we should all go off at the servo workers until they quit. Now some will say you can't do that but I was in a Transport SA office today and witnessed 3 ppl abusing the staff. I used to work for a Council. My staff got abused daily. No complaints from the general populace there. So I don't care about servo workers either HTFU or change jobs. If we as motorists all did this fuel prices would drop significantly

    im not sh*ting you, a couple of weeks ago I pulled into a little servo on the other side of town, got out to fill up and heres this guy standing next to my car. How much you after, he asked me. I nearly fell over. At first I thought he was joking but he filled it up and while I was inside to pay I looked out and he was washing the windscreen! I had to check the date on the newspapers to see if I had gone through some sort of time warp portal. Only thing he didnt do was top up the oil and check the tyres but hey maybe I should have asked! If it wasnt so far from my house Id fill up there every time, mainly to because he was nice about it and didnt seem like he was just doing it coz he had to. What a spin out!
