| 579329 | 2007-08-11 03:04:00 | I went to the service station this morning to fill a gas bottle. I was having a bit of a struggle getting the bottle out of the boot when a girl, 25 ish, offered to get it out for me. She did easily and carried it to the pump. I was so flabbergasted that I almost forgot to say thank you.. At least there are still some helpful people around. |

| 579330 | 2007-08-11 03:09:00 | Well, last week I took my gas bottle and thought several times 'gee that's heavy.... yep- old age catching up... sigh'. When I went back to pick it up the nice young guy (who also put it in the back of the car for me) told me that it still had 4kg of gas left in it when I took it in. I wasn't sure if I should be happy or not :dogeye: |

| 579331 | 2007-08-11 03:19:00 | I saw an elderly guy trying to change his tyre in Hamilton a few weeks back, it was obvious he was having trouble trying to lift the spare out of his boot. I was waiting for the traffic to clear so I could cross the road and give him a hand, and got pissed off at all these young fellas and womans staring at him as they wakled passed. Didnt even bother to ask him if he needed a hand. I helped him out and changed his tyre and the fella said Thank you and even gave me a cd voucher for my trouble. But I couldnt help think what is wrong with people...*rant rant* |

| 579332 | 2007-08-11 03:43:00 | Well done Rob- enjoy your CD :thumbs: Of course you realise that most 'young people' now days wouldn't know how to change a tyre. I'm not that old *cough*, but my father insisted when we were learning to drive that we had to be able to change a tyre- that's the guys and the girls... a bit like learning to cook before we left home :) |

She just knows how to give proper service in her job. Good for her. |

| 579335 | 2007-08-11 04:18:00 | Yep, I'd have to agree. I moved not long ago- went into the local BP station got petrol and politely asked the guy behind the counter where I could get my gas bottled filled. He pretty much told me to sod off and if I hadn't already paid for the petrol I would have siphoned it back out (it's not like I walked in off the street and asked!). I drove in the opposite direction, found a Caltex station and the staff there were great- and friendly with it. Needless to say I now don't get my petrol from BP. After my bad experience with the attitude of Parallel Importers this week I am more determined to give businesses my money who understand the meaning of service. |

| 579336 | 2007-08-11 04:28:00 | Ahh yes, I'll never remember the time when, err, where was I, oh yes I was putting the cat out, not that I'd ever set a cat on fire mind you. I had some onions tied to my belt, it was the style at the time. Gas bottles used to be much bigger in my day, big I tell ya. So big we used to run around them shouting "where's my fish" or somthing like that, can't be sure these days what fish were but they were big I tell ya so big that................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz | JackStraw (6573) | ||
