Got back the PETROL!!!

While I was searching for mechanic, I just went to petrol bunk and filled petrol for 100rs. I had a small doubt about initial setting at the petrol level reader. After filling, I left for mechanic hunting. I just looked at my petrol level indicator in my vehicle and got shocked. It seems that petrol was filled for only 60rs, since I know the level where the needle reaches, when I fill the petrol. It was well below the mark. Felt very upset since these days each and every penny is becoming too valuable. I realized that the fellow who had filled would have done for his own personal gain and the pump owners won’t be aware of it. So I thought if I could complain to them, at least they can keep an eye on him or warn him to reduce these irregularities. I went back to bunk but I found everyone has dress similar to him. I could not find anybody in charge of that particular bunk at that time. By the time, the fellow who filled realized and called me. I explained him the situation. It seems that he realized that if I complain or talk more, others will come to know about him and may get ashamed. He just told me that he’d fill the petrol for 30rs. I decided not to create a scene and hoped that he won’t repeat. Felt that advising him of won’t be useful and complaint after his acceptance is of no use. Already he was bit embarrassed (at least I felt). This is the first time; I went and got back the petrol. I’ve missed on few times. Hereafter I won’t miss.
