Shell gas station lady - Lincoln Road (Auck)

**Kiwi Graham:Me** · 11th August 2008, 16:45

Late for work, low on gas, head into shell station for a top up. filled her up with the good stuff.....$40:70 and bugger no wallet wtf!!!

(picture it sitting on bench at home)

. Slunk into the shop and gave my sob story, offered my back pack, watch as security and waited for "leave you bike here and walk" response but no..... "you look honest enough, nip home and get it, I trust you!"

. Shot home got the wallet back to the gas station full of praise and relief, she thanked me!!!!! for coming back!!!! What a top bird

. See some people dont see us bikers as law breaking neanderthals

Oh and I got Fly Buys Points as well.....

props to the Shell Station Lady!

For just such crises I keep a cash flow card hidden in the lining of my helmet! I may forget my wallet, I may forget my phone, I may forget my trousers (yeah, well you'll be old one day too !), but I'll not forget my helmet.

What a fabulous story!

Thanks for sharing - we need to hear more about the good side of life - we experience it 99% of the time if we're looking at things realistically, but for some reason we sometimes forget about that! I'm sure the universe will make sure this wonderful lady is blessed in return

Big hugs to you Shell Station Lady

Man, that's a dump of a station, but great service in there.

We get our fuel there and we are alway greeted well.......even when totally cloaked in Black.........I think it still comes down to how you put yourself across.......cheers to Shell Lincoln rd.

Same thing happened to me years ago right near the southern end of the Auckland m/way. Pull off, fill up - oh shit! Wife had my cards (yeah, yeah - dont go there).

The lady there (also from Shell) told me that I could "pop back in the weekend" and pay.

I did - as well as taking her flowers and writing to the manager letting him/her know what awesome staff they had.

Id recommend writing in or something - I think its rare that they get the 'big ups' they deserve and Im sure it would make her day!

A mate of mine did this for a customer once and they wrote to the management singing her praises. She got a written warning for "breaking the rules".....
