A Cape Town entrepreneur's trip to fill up his Ferrari turned into a funny moment when petrol attendants decided to try and get lucky. TikTok user @chrisbpo, a BPO business owner who shares content about making money, shared the hilarious moment on 6 January 2026 on his page, showing what happened when he pulled into an Engen 1-Stop petrol station.

It's unclear when the incident happened, but the moment he arrived, every attendant at the garage started waving at him. Each one wanted him to come to their pump so they could serve him. It was like a competition. The gentleman chose one station and immediately got the full treatment. A few attendants rushed over to help, wiping down his windows and making sure everything was spotless.

Then, one of the attendants joked that he wanted a R6 million tip. Not just for himself, but to share among all the other workers who had gathered around the Ferrari. All of the men laughed.

The whole situation showed what it's like when you pull up in a supercar. Some of the commentators joked that regular customers have to wave attendants over for help, but this guy had them fighting for his attention.

The entrepreneur seemed cool about the whole thing as he filmed the experience.
