Don't know if you saw this article in 7 days, but attendants at Emarat petrol stations, say the company regularly performs strip searches to make sure they're not keeping any tips given to them.
What the hell?!!!
If I want to give these poor guys who work all day in the sun and gas fumes the couple of dirhams I would have got as change as a thanks for their hard work, isn't that my business? And what does Emarat do with the money they take off them?
Disgraceful - everyone should boycott Emarat over this!

Sniper it's not bloody funny! Imagine the indignity of the whole thing for the sake of a few dirhams!
I sometimes wonder about you and how you can make fun of something which is so humilitating to other people.

There can be no doubt that the Emarat attendents maintian the highest standards of service compared to any where in the world. It is really humiliating for us the custmers to know that these guys have to go thru such stuff
The only way to get rid of temptation is to yeild to it....

That is Fn brutal, so if the attendants are being strip searched so theyre not keeping the tips, who is getting the tips? Is it being pooled or is management pocketing it? Either way this is just Fd up, the guys that work at the Emarat I fill up at are awesome, very helpful and always in a good mood even with 20 cars backed up. I like to tip them and it disgusts me to hear this.

Agree totally with what everyone has said, and I think it is bl00dy disgusting that they treat their staff this way. I always tip these guys, They work damn long hours for next to nothing, if I have a few spare coins, then I will always give them to them.

What happends to the money? Does it get pooled and shared among the workers? Does it heck! Emarat keeps it and puts it into it's own pocket.
Shameful, shameful, shameful - I'm never using Emarat again!
I hope an 18 wheeler runs you over soon.

Hp, once again you prove what a prize plonker you are.
In most other countries, we have to fill our cars ourselves etc etc etc. These guys provide a service, they're no different to a waiter in a resturaunt and we tip them for good service, so why not these poor guys who're probably lucky to earn 600AUD a month!
If I tip, it's between me and the person offering the service, and why should it go into the pocket of the big billion dollar company and not the guy I've given it to?
