I have been planning to write on this particular subject since a long time, but it was slipping from my mind, every time. There is an infamous petrol pump in the famous city of Cuttack, Odisha. (Near Sati Choura Chowk, in CDA). Infamous ‘coz, they have this unique habit of stopping the meter at Rs.198 or 197 (If you are taking petrol worth Rs.200). And every time, you highlight the issue, they would just shrug saying, “The meter is faulty”. I used to give them a piece of my mind, each time I visited the petrol pump. But to no avail. Finally I got tired, and switched over to another petrol pump, which is bit farther from my home, near Kanika Chowk. I would rather traverse the extra kms, than fatten the pockets of such cheats and scoundrels.
Incidentally, Cuttack is a place, which is known for its non-tolerance for such absurdities. You see, any errant drivers or such cheaters, immediate justice is rendered to them. (In the form of a quick beating by the crowd). Not sure though, why this particular petrol pump has been spared so far. Maybe the owner is not aware of this, or may be the workers are doing this for their own cute profit. Who knows!
