so... this man is a petrol attendant and when a lady came to throw petrol in, she realised she left her wallet at home and told him to leave it. he said no, she can't drive alone and get stranded without petrol, it's too dangerous. he then took R100 from his own pocket and threw in for her. she asked him but how do you know I will come back and pay you back? I said it doesn't matter but he is a believer and believes in ppl. petrol attendants get a meagre pay her he helped someone he didn't know. this woman went back and paid him but also opened a type of go fund me thing to raise money for this man, think it near R470 000 already.... ppl have just opened their hearts and pockets to this man and his awesome deed. ... just thought I'd share some good feels. |

it shouldn't matter, but this man is a black man and the woman is a white woman. the reason I am even mentioning this is to highlight that even tho South Africa has many racial stories and tensions, and how on social media and chat sites we see and hear the worst of the worst, that for many living their day to day lives, there is caring and colour blindness.

BEWARE: the story details here, woman on her own, petrol station, someone with little or no means financially ending in a gofundme... it's very similar to a story that turned out to be a scam in America. in that one a homeless guy gave his only 20 dollars to help a woman driving alone etc. some or all of them have jail time now. http://youtu.be/k_B2fUTeNi4 |

Don't think they have petrol attendants in America or some other countries. |

The petrol pump attendants in Mexico were robbing bstrds. You had to keep your eye on them at all times

Seems like they followed that American con, albeit with slight tweaks, it still pulls on the heartstrings of good people.

@ 3mel - 4.06.19 - 12:51pm it was a homeless guy in that instance. Sorry lol didn't click on your link. Just generally pointing out what I've observed. Thanks to TV. Everyone seems to help themselves to 'gas' in America. I assume it's prepaid. They load the money and just enough gets filled in. |

I wrote out that he was homeless too before the link. some pumps take credit cards but they trust the majority to walk into the shop and pay afterward. they'll have your license number on camera if you drive off. |

That's crazy. Should be prepaid though. Everywhere. The attendants here expect you to tip them afterwards just for wiping the window, etc. They get paid for all that anyway, covered in the petrol money. |

Sorry, what... Petrol attendant? Here I am, first world country and not a pump skivy in sight. Need to induce more poverty

..When the amount put in is more than enough, it refunds you back. There's this sensor built into the pump end that makes the system automatically switch off when it detects petrol is almost enough. |
