It happened at the DEVEGOWDA petrol pump at banashankari 3rd stage bangalore..Its supposed to be a renowned petrol pump.

Today they cheated me for rs50 when i had asked them to fill for rs100...one of them came to me asking to pay him the money and when i turned towards the meter,it showed 50 already and then he asked me again if that was okay...i repeated to him that i wanted petrol for rs100,then he filled again for rs50....i had a doubt,i was waiting there to check and that made those guys worry...they asked me to move as a huge truck was coming in the way....now i really want those ppl to learn a lesson so that ppl like you should not be effected and a renowned petrol pump shouldnt lose its dignity coz of some thieves...if you can help me,lemme know the way to complain against them....
thanking you

Hi,
Not such a experience at DEVEGOWDA. But i had discover a trick that petrol pump ppl are doing in Bangalore. Following incident has happened 3-5 times in last month. This how there trick work.
I ask them to fill petrol of 200, then guy filling the petrol show the zero meter and start the pump and stop after filling for 50. So then one will say it was 200, then he will say "Oh I heard it 50", then at this point another guy will approach for money and by the time you are done with him. First guy is finish and showing you 150 at meter claiming it had filled 50+150. But this had not happen he had only fill for 150. Its quite a trick now dayz prevalent in Bangalore. So beware. You can do any of the following to escape from trick.
1.When guy say its done at 50, just say thank you and ride away.
2.Ignore the 2nd man when it approach you just stick your eyes on meter.
I had tried both with 2nd you will the quantity you were looking for, but can also landup into argument. 1st is the easiest but you endup looking yourself soft.
