Enoc attendants dropped gas station service… and 'courtesy' along the way
I was very thrilled to hear that self-service gas stations have made their way to the UAE.
I was not thrilled, however, when I heard about a not-very-gentleman-like attitude of one Eppco-Enoc gas stations supervisor in one of the new self service stations in Dubai.
My wife, very visibly 8-months pregnant woman, pulled into one of the new self service gas after a long busy day of running errands with our hyper-active toddler. Pregnancy was really having its tool on her that day, it was extremely hot and she didn’t want to leave our 3 year old girl alone in the car. She asked the attendant standing next to her car if he could help her fill the car.
“NO! Self service only,” the supervisor abruptly answered.
My message to that supervisor:
I hope you are proud of yourself. If you were half the man you claim you are, your dignity would have at least suggested to offer assistance to a pregnant women, not just standing there watching her.
A message to the lads at Eppco-Enoc:
You guys still have a lot to learn. Give Kuwait National Petroleum Company in Kuwait a ring. KNPC rolled self-service stations over 15 years ago. At every station, there are always a couple of people who are ready to assist women or anyone with a valid reason for assistance.
It’s not about following the rules, its about professional and common courtesy.

She told him that and he sure saw her when she got out of the car buj; he just stood there doing nothing.
The point is that Enoc hasn't really thought this self service very well..

Honestly, I don't see the problem.
Pregnant women fill their cars up all over the world - yes - even in hot countries.

To the global spokesperson on behalf of gas filling pregnant women all over the the world (aka anon@9.57): you have totally missed the point my friend
Nonetheless, thank you for your valuable contribution.
