Yes Rajiv,
I would like a tax invoice for my petrol - it's the fu--in law.
Why is it I always have to ask for a tax invoice when paying for petrol at the servo ?
Or they will ask me if I would like a receipt after I stand there waiting for the fu-k for one.
They always remember to ask me if I have a Fly-buy card.
I mean they can't rort the system just by not giving a tax invoice can they ?
I never encounter this elsewhere. It's always the servo.

to true. you have more chance getting a reward from santa clause then anything those guys are trying to scam. $100,000 spent your reward is a mars bar.

I think maybe they just trying to save paper by not printing the extra docket

They always print them out tho, then when you say you dont want it the throw it in the bin anyway.

Unless its a work car why would you need a receipt anyway? You cant take fuel back!!

I keep mine in case a dodgy tank of diesel kills my injectors/pump or more. It hasn't happened to me yet, but I've heard of it a few times (worse with common rail injection). That way I can get my insurance company to follow it up with the servo and hopefully save me $.

I use it to keep track of fuel consumption. The receipt tells me how many litres I bought and so I just need to write the odometer reading on the back.

Fair enough, never thought of it like that..

But generally you cant claim anything unless its a company car, or you use it for work.

Nope, not right.... i get fly buy points at coles and servo when I shop there but I do not shop there to get points meaning if I'd shopped somewhere else I would get zilch, also the groceries price is more or less the same as in WA we do not have much alternative (coles or woollies) and the 3rd player IGA is more expensive with less choice, if Aldy or cosco was coming I bet it would help and I would reconsider. By the way I already scored, over the years, a nice 10MP canon camera, a compact cd player with Iphone docking, 2 box of vine, a set of cordless phones and an aroma therapy mister. So it is not all bad!

That would probably because 95% of customers then drop it in the shop or just outside the door leaving your mate fond of curries to clean it up.

I thought that would have been obvious Scotty.

I wonder if he bags you by saying "Why ebery orshool Barry in shiny SUV want to be a redkneck pr!ck aboot a simple question, I am not knowing?"

Makes me wonder why too?

A mate of mine arced up once about "Why is evey kn deli in Perth run by bloody Asians!?"

My response? "Add it up mate.. that would be because 'Ozzies' wont work that hard or that long for that kind ofg money."

LONG pause, 'clink' goes the penny.. end of discussion.



Reckon many Bazza and Shazzas (or Scottys) are cueing up to work in the local Servo Scotty?

Nah.. me neither.

i think its an indian thing. fkkrs never want to give me a receipt either...then i also have to extract a staple from them. that's also extra and they never offer. I thinkt hey are just tight and paper and staples are extra.

Gidday getfunky,

That's an interesting spin on it mate.
Mark my words when I say I won't disrespect you now or in the future. It's just not my go - especially not on a keyboard.
I didn't mention this as a race thing. Rajiv was the the guy who served me yesterday as per his name tag. My point is the servo is the only business I deal with that has a problem of initially issuing a tax invoice without asking.

Whoops! My mistake. Thought you were havin a crack at folks from the sub-continant more than the fuel receipt (as did myusernam by the look of it).

And yes, I shouldn't assume every Bazza and Shazza (or Scotty ) is a redkneck too.

1000 apoligies sir - I must be learning not to assume because it makes an @ss out of u and me.

Fair bump - play on.

Personally it sh!ts me that 50% of servo dudes hand me a receipt I don't want and I then have to find a bin for it (or dump it in their shop).
