Petrol Pump cheating is more common than we thinm
In many towns of India even today the employees pay the pump owner to work at petrol pumps so I am a bit surprised that only 13% people in the LC survey said that the pump fellow didnt set meter to 0

Chances are many didnt pay attention to the meter.
Why is legal metrology not on top of this issue. Are they also hand in glove. I would think they are because they work for state govt and their minister is likely looking for his/her cut on a monthly basis.
So best is to just check 0 ourselves and not get duped. What is your experience/opinion more

Glad this is brought up. Never faced this. Fault finding always. Self-service petrol pumps be implemented. In US you insert credit card, fill gas, charge deducted, withdraw card. Period. Go home. Can India automate? यहाँ हमें चाहिए जो zero चेक करे, दूसरे windscreen शीशा साफ़ करे, फिर कोई टायर में हवा भरे, गर्मी में, भरे गए petrol की कीमत का भुगतान कर हम अहसान जताते हुए जाएं! more
