City Center BURGLAR Encounter
City Center Burglar Encounter
Last night I encountered a burglar in City Center parking area. What happened, I was looking for a parking and somebody wearing a blue cover all guided me in parking my car. Upon going down I gave 10 QAR as a payment for washing my car. When I came back after shopping in City Center my car was untouched, it wasn’t cleaned.
Lesson, ask for a receipt whenever you want your car washed.
Anybody encountered this thief?
pay after the service (ex. car wash). It was not burglar, you were swindled.
I always pay in advance - both for petrol and car wash :(
This is not called Burglary, but is a con.
We Pikey's can flog off any thing and every thing.. This is just a minor little misunderstanding..FGS it is only QR10.
Maybe he wasn't an actual car wash attendant. A few times when I've been crazy enough to go to CC in the afternoons, there is of course no parking. I've chosen to pay ( about 2-3 QR, not 10!) a guy just to help me find a spot. Maybe that's what he thought he was doing?
never had problems with carwash in CC.
Smoke, near the entrance just below Carrefour! I've done it 3 times and three times I've gotten tickets! I think I might have one, I'll check... (And scan it, so you have evidence
LOL). I don't think I've done it in Villagio or Landmark tho...
donosa where exactly in City Center did they give you a ticket for washing your car? I dont remember them giving any sorta receipt ever. Even in Villagio its the same deal.

I've ALWAYS paid in advance, as they have LOADS of cars to wash and they don't have a chance to stay there and wait for you to come and pay.... I think that is understandable. Never had that problem, because they ALWAYS give you a ticket, if they didn't and you didn't ask for one... well THAT is your problem, not his.
DId you try to find one of them and ask them about why they didn't wash your car?
It is your fault, for paying something and not demanding a ticket!!!
Is not a burglar. This is a typically commercial dispute: you paid in advance for a service which, in the end, was not finalized by the contractor! Sue him! :)
TripleK ....Next time just park your car ...& prop up the wiper....no need to pay ;-)....simble
I went to Fitness First so for sure it took me more than an hour.
I used to have a car wash in CC at least once or twice a month. But this is the first time I didn't get the service. This is just a precaution to you guys.
Have you been to centrepoint mall, they have a cleaning service (not the kind of cleaning done by the men in blue to pick up extra money)..you pay 8 QR and gt a receipt, and they do a good job..
Not with me BD :p
Service first before payment.
I have someone washing my car in the office too :D
"katas ng qatar"
Newkid "do you pay the petrol man (for example 30 bucks) before they load petrol in your car? "
That depends who you are. I've seen them demand payment in advance from Qatari shabab as they have been known to 'do a runner'.
Do you know how many cars come to CC everyday? I can buy the uniform myself and keep 100% of the earnings, dont need to rent it from you. Bugger trying to rob me of 3%!!

i will provide the cargo uniform in blue for you smoke. just give me 3% of the total income per day :D
Yep you always pay in advance and they ask you how long you are going to be before you come back accordingly they will wash your car. Sometimes i tell them i dont have change and that i'll pay them when i get back after my shopping, they still wash the car for me. Sometimes i buy them a pepsi if its in the afternoon heat :P
So anyways i'm going to buy myself a blue cover all and walk around in city center's parking collecting 10 bucks from people like you. Geeze its just 10 bucks get over it.

Usually it will take them about an hour to get to your car. Maybe you weren't gone long enough for them to get to yours. You always have to pay in advance newkid. After you pay they then prop up the windshield wipers to know to come back to your car and wash it.
You can't teach experience...
im a little confused on your story. you said, as on your way down you gave him 10 QR as payment for washing your car. as the time you came back, he didnt wash your car.
lesson: do not pay in advance. until your satisfied with the service, thats the only time you will pay. do you pay the petrol man (for example 30 bucks) before they load petrol in your car? do you pay for your groceries before you buy them? do you pay for your food before eating in a restaurant?
