That native of southern Russia is evil, who does not try to the best of his ability and ingenuity to cash in on vacationers who go all summer
The main condition for the existence of such a fraud is the payment of fuel in cash. With bank cards, as they say, “will not work”. Therefore, a “separation” is possible only if the motorist buys fuel on the principle “for 500 rubles” or “for 1000” or “for 200”. Does not matter. Most importantly, the payment must be real money.
The problem for scammers is that the cash registers of most gas stations are equipped with bank payment terminals. But the cashier can always tell the customer that the machine is not working at the moment, which is why you can only pay in cash. It is clear that it is unlikely that a local resident can hang such noodles on the ears. But for a passing resident of another region rushing to his resort, it is quite normal to “drop in”.
So, let’s say that the car owner agreed to buy gasoline for 1000 rubles and is ready to pay in cash. The fact is, he probably doesn’t think that the gas station equipment, which measures gallons of fuel in his car’s tank, like any measuring instrument in general, is flawed.
Modern gas stations can measure the consumption of flammable liquid with an accuracy of 10 ml – 0.01 liter. In practice, this leads to the following: a citizen hands over 1,000 rubles in cash at the checkout of the gas station. For example, the price of AI-95 now in the Krasnodar Territory is at a level of about 54 rubles per liter. Calculation suggests that for 1000 rubles with such a price tag, 18,51851 liters of gasoline can be poured into the car.
But in practice, due to the error of the equipment, the fuel dispenser can measure either 18.51 liters, that is, less than paid, or 18.52 liters – that is, more than 1000 rubles. Obviously, this promotion is clearly not for charitable giving. Therefore, in fact, there will be an underfill of gasoline – by 0.00851 liters. That is, the car owner will give about 50 kopecks of his 1000 rubles to the gas station. It is characteristic that about the same 50 kopecks will not add fuel to you if you refuel for “200 rubles”, and “for 2000 rubles” and “for 500 rubles”.
In our situation with refueling “for 1000 rubles”, if you pay attention to the receipt issued in exchange for your thousand, you can see that most likely it will contain the amount of 999 rubles 50 kopecks. That is, in fact, the gas station cash register will be 50 kopecks more than it should be. But don’t worry: at the end of the shift everything will be clear there, no accounting department with the load will undermine. After all, you are not the only one with your “cash”. During the day, a gas station in a crowded place can be frequented by motorists like you, and 100 and 200 people. And from each of its employees will receive 50 kopecks. The amount collected at the cash register at the end of the shift naturally disappears and is distributed among the staff. Not much, but certainly enough for a sandwich from restaurant Eat and Dot…
