As we experience the impact of soaring petrol prices, a video emerges of someone exploiting a petrol attendant, leaving them stuck with the bill.
A tweet disseminating details about the incident mentioned that the petrol attendant, Thabo, apprehended a woman attempting to leave without settling her bill.
The circulation of this sparked a wave of frustration among many, and rightfully so. Yet, beyond that, it serves as a poignant reminder of how a community can unite to correct an injustice through humble actions.
Hannah Jahnsen states:
"These gentlemen would be my eternal heroes. Bless each and every one of them."
Bra Willy says:
"Actually, she's attempting to flee with Thabo's salary. Because it would have been deducted from his December salary."
Zinyo Linye mentions:
"Go well, go Shell."
user5487096371044 states:
"If she is suspected of committing a crime in the person's presence, then that citizen has authority to arrest the person regardless of gender/race."
Enrique8809 expresses:
"I know Thabo, he's a great guy, very friendly. I even buy the guy biscuits from time to time. Great service at this Shell."
Tshepang Lamoen responded:
"Y’all do realise that if someone left without paying, the petrol attendant has to pay out their own pocket?"
Sthokoziso Zizi Malaka says:
"Lovely, next person to try leaving without paying must know."
khaya goes on to say:
"Thabo deserves an award for standing up against madam."
