Shameful, shameful, shameful - I'm never using Emarat again!
Well if u dont use emarat, it wont redress the situation of those poor workers. Instad I would meet up with the manager or emarat HQ and give em my opinion. It's so bad they "Stripe -search" retards - lack empathy :x

What the hell is your problem calling the employees of Emaraat "retards"? You sound so much like HP sometimes its unbeleivable!!
Pathetic children.

Quote: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,
At restaurants, customers mostly depend upon the presentation of waiters about the menu ( e.g. dish of the house,specific wine with particular dish). The good presentation and service of waiters lead to up selling and cross selling.
But at fuel station, attendants can not convince you to get petrol instead of diesel. Customers usually know what they are going to purchase.
At restaurants people usually spend 30-an hour but at fuel station ,the interaction is not more than few minutes.
Quote:so why not these poor guys who're probably lucky to earn 600AUD a month!
Brisbane used to give very nice advice to people" if you dont like brisbane then leave it "
Those guys understand a,b,c of terms and conditions before being employed.

Moving back on topic.
I just came back from an Emarat station, I asked 2 of the station attendants what happened to tips and they both told me management takes it. I asked about the searching and they said yes it happens, instead of tipping this time, I shook the gentlemans hand and that is the last time I will buy gas from Emarat. I asked about the searches and he said this happens.
I asked them if they knew Eppco/Enoc attendants and they said they did, these stations allow their employees to keep tips earned.
When I come back to Brisbane next week I will not be filling up my car in Emarat stations as I did before.

I have stoped going to Emarat stations since and plan to boycott Emarat for the next 3 months.
i have also sent in a mail to Emarat to make sure that the co. understands and has a feel of the public opinion.
The only way to get rid of temptation is to yeild to it....

HP, have you seen how many letters there have been in 7 days every single day from people over this topic! No I suppose reading a paper even a free one is beyond you.
Virtually everyone I know is stopping using Emarat and their friends, and people they know and so on and so on.
And yes people can make a difference, you know people should use their voices to let these big companies know what they think of them more often, if they start to lose money, then of course they're going to start to listen.

come on choco ,u hardly know the bunch of loosers hehehe ( 0+0 +0 ) .People can only make the difference if Media launch a propaganda war against such kind of so called "malicious business practice " .I assume it is not allowed in Brisbane .
How many people visit Brisbaneforums.com? i never see more than 4 online users

bsaolutely right Fazy, Rosa Parks was an incredible woman. She's just been given top honurs and a state burial in the states.
FYI - Rosa Parks was a black woman and she refused to give up her seat to a white man on a bus, making people fight for equality.
She was a total inspiration.
You see HP, it takes one person to start and others to follow, so why don't you do the right thing.
Why are we wasting or time and bandwidth trying to explain to a buffoon like HP how one person can make a difference? Its not like he will ever understand...
