Petrol stations docking staff pay for drive offs

[R650R]

I was told by an ex BP employee, the camera systems are minutes by a computer system which monitors most gas stations. If a vehicle has stolen gas, been reported stolen or the plates can't be read/scanned, an alarm goes off so the attendant knows to not activate the pump unless pre paid.

As for not being able to prove the theft, the vehicle contains stolen goods. Petrol is a good (good English). If a vehicle owner claims innocence, they could still be done for receiving stolen goods.

But gas stations have insurance, and they have accountants.

Was that NZ or UK (where they do have ANPR) as I don't think NZ servos have stumped up for the cost of ANPR systems judging by the crap quality of vid grabs on police facebook page.

The owner could not be done for receiving stolen goods. You would need to do an enormous amount of paperwork not to mention draining the tank and measuring to provide the appropriate evidence.
Although there has beena recent conviction in that area with that Fonterra driver I suspect the other guy confessed and they have txt messages etc detailing the amounts...

I'm not sure they would have insurance cover for such low level losses. The premium and excess charges/paperwork time would make it uneconomical for both sides.
Eg most truck companies have insurance for rollovers, big claim half million dollars of gear plus the freight, excess would likely be around 50000 I think. But drop a pallet of apples or booze off the forklift and think that just comes straight out of the companies profits.
You can get insurance for just about any event but theres a point where it becomes uneconomic.

Maybe they can't be 'forced'.
But if they didn't say who was driving it might cost them court time and dollars, lots at times.

Yes if they come to police attention soon enough.
But the unsubstantiated evidence, rumours, watching police tv reality shows and urban legends that support my sweeping generalisations shows that generally these scumbags are getting away with it.

This reminds me I was going to start a Petrol stations to avoid thread. Pulled into the mobil at Tokoroa on Friday and on prepay in broad daylight, get stuffed, made it to Z taupo on vapours
Not long and all be pay at the pump anyway...

I left before that was resolved but I believe he as terminated.

...what?...they had him taken out...that's a bit harsh...

I agree with willytheekid. Buck stops here. I used to spend a
Lot of time making sure the staff had the systems and support they needed to not have problems. We had the lowest drive offs in the network every month I had that station. Probably why I spotted the activities so easily.

We had a policy of chase every drive off. Even if that meant spending $25 per recovery through an agent for a $2 fill and run. Word gets around. And they get $80 in recovery costs if not paid in 48 hours.


Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

Next thing the electrical companies will charge the meter-reader for electricity being stolen by people 'jumping' the meter...

Ass-wipes.

naaa'reckon police pay should be docked... for the cost of crimes left un-checked.

Simple problem and it has a simple solution. Pay at pump, end of story.

except i never have and will actually drive away from a fuel station if they refuse to unlock the pump (shell in royal oak auckland - you little gerpreet indian fuck, and mobile kamo, also a gerpreet indian fuck)

It's illegal for a company to pay less than minimum wage, which after the pay is docked, many employees are effectively under paid. That's illegal. If pay docking is in your contract, then they can dock your pay with your consent.

Wages Protection Act (if national havent repealed it) - a wealth of hilarity.

what would you do if you owned a gas station right in the middle of a reservation?

Hence the relative standard of recruits.

Get criminals to stop doing crime and I might get a pay rise.

BP NZ (at least the ones I have worked at in the Wellington region) do have ANPR and the system is as hayden described.
