Complaint sent to Woolworths

You got a form letter that said **** off we don't care.

Basically the first email was that saying call and we will spin so much
shit you will hang up thinking it was all your own fault.

I have found if you I communicate in writing I am spared a lot of the
BS, excluding here (bloody top posters) ;-)

Anyway the second email explained that the woman was not aware of number
plates being on the rear on motorcycles and she has since been educated.

I actually went to the place yesterday and had no problems and was even
served by the same woman. I could tell she knew who I was as she was
very abrupt and her co-worker was paying close attention.
I was able to fill up and pay without any troubles though so cannot
complain!

 

Good result
Well done

 

This place has some kind of pay at the pump system but I think I need a
special "Ecard" with it.... I should explore this as I do like the pay
at the pump option.
I guess no service is better than the crap they call service now days.
:-(


Security cameras face traffice arriving and also show the front on of
the fill up area. None on exit. Lets see if they do an upgrade in the
near future.

I have not explored the question of recording number plate details and
what they do with this information.
I did notice most of the security at the Supers taking notes of all the
motorcycle details parked during the main event while the police were
setting up checkpoints on the exit gates.

 

I worked night shift in a petrol station years ago, before the days of
CCTV. Noting down regos was something I used to do just in case there
were driveoffs. I've noticed the petrol station attendant at my local
servo also notes down the rego of cars which pull up and start filling.
I imagine it's a pretty common practice.
If I'm filling up late at night or very early in the morning I will park
my bike i such a way that the attendant can see my plate just so they
don't get spooked or turn off the pumps and waste my time prepaying.
The video surveillance equipment in shops and servos is usually pretty
crap. Waste of time really.. anyone going to steal petrol takes a set
of stolen plates. The only people they catch with the surveillance
videos are people who forget to pay. You'd be surprised how common it is.

mistaken identity.

LOL - U got it. It was not mistaken identity - they recognised Peter and
wouldn't turn on the pump until they got his rego! They prolly gave the
troll a medal for initiative (http://goo.gl/QsL1e).

Done that. Filled up, gone into shop. Wait whilst the working
attendant serves a customer who is doing their weekly grocery
shopping. Observe three other non-attendants talking in the back.
Finally get to the front. "number 7 and this can of coke please".
Swipe the BP fuel card. Take receipt and leave. Get a call from the
Police next day. Look at receipt still in my wallet. It says 1 can of
coke. Go past that evening and pay the idiot.

I should learn to check my receipts. I do wonder how many people go
into a servo to buy just a coke with their fuel card.

I have done the same but with eftpos and chocolate.
The police managed to call me within the hour and I dropped past on my
return trip and paid.

I was surprised that the police called me as the car was not mine.... but
the keycard I used was. The police were not that concerned.
