Beware and be alert when filling petrol on your car to petrol station in West bay and Muntazah in front of daihatsu. Most of their gasoline staff will intentional not fill-in the amount you ask...example...you ask the staff to fill in 25QR but actually he fill in 24QR and he immediately remove the hose. If you accost him he will deny it..this happen so many times to me. Well, this is just a warning to anybody who don't want to be cheated....like me...

It sounds like they added their own service charge! I was told Hotels etc. can no longer add service charges to our bills as people often paid the service charge and then left cash for the waiter.

maybe you asked 25 but the hose automatically stopped when the petrol reached the tip of the pump. So, just pay what is on display! No argument!

follow the advice of the_prince. This is what i do. Most of the time they ask me to move the car little bit ahead, but I don't do

how can he deny it if the amount is still on display?

When the hose is returned, the amount of money is still on the display, so, I don't really understand your post

advice:

stop your car in a position where you can see the display for the rear window
