i'm sure this has happened to you before. i just wanna know if any of you are equally pissed at this behaviour as i am. situation is like this:

reward cards are basically point redeem system which rewards you for being loyal. petronas has mesra card, shell uses bonuslink, aeon with its aeon card and so on. i noticed that when you forgot to bring your card or if you did not subscribe to the reward card system, the cashier will conveniently swipe their own card for your purchase.

to me, this is unacceptable. why are they benefiting out of my purchase? the reward points are the customers' regardless whether they want to claim it or not. at least ask for my permission because i do feel charitable most of the time. but never steal from me!

do you share the same feeling?

real charitable people will not complain.

In japan the salesgirl use their yodabashi card and you get 8% discount while she can achieve sales target, win win

Most likely you are cheapskate to even donate and you wanted to feel charitable without giving them a cent
Do you also rage if cat eat your dropped food on the floor?

dei...he dint steal la

if u give him your card and he dint swipe yours and swiped he 1 instead then can consider steal

Angry if Aeon cashier doing that thing.

do you rage when ppl dun gip you 5sen cos they no change?

backfire tered in teh making

did you miss the difference between stealing and charity?

charity is by choice. getting your selipar stolen at the mosque would force you to just give up and sedekah the selipar. sedekah is by choice, not by force.

gua tak kesah pun.. daripada points tu sesia je tak pegi kat sapa2..

anggap la sedekah, dapat pahala.. buka thread camni, hilang pahala tu..

if you bring it up to higher ups.. they will be in trouble.

do they tell me or do they just shut up and let it go?

i find the "tak apa" attitude in this thread unnerving.

they dun tell.. i also rage and say no 5sen your problem la.. gip me back 10sen.. then she black face..lol..

i belip....it will happen in SG

well..for me i dont care....why not benefit others while itself cant take it

if leng lui i will smile and ask jokingly, 'can you give me your number? so when u claim your reward i can share it too '

It's a non issue for me. I rather have a hardworking individual benefit from my purchase than have that "benefit" returned to big business.

You may want to have a reality check on what you deem as being "charitable".

some they dont give me the 5 sen, some they give me 10sen instead. so got give and take la.. in the end, u dont really gain or lose any.

i paling touched this one cashier at subway, total item is RM10.20, i dont have coins, so she say RM10 is ok ady. i terharu liao..

yeah cos i was in pharmacy and they say wah all your points wasted.. get the reward card la.. then i ask them if they have card they are welcome to use. but they dem sked and say kenot la.. then some aunty behind go pandai pandai offer n pass her card to the front..

tak kesah juga la...i always see that kind of practice in oil station...

nak komplen pun tak gune..dah mmg kita takde so-called reward card..

but i do have bonus link..so i just go where bonus link card applies..

wah so nice..

i know exactly what charitable means, and how the whole voluntary nature forms the crucial difference between it and being strong armed to do so.

only happen in shell station ( worker not honest at all )
give him my card , he go swipe his card at counter. kNN

Always ask for receipt.
I dont mind if i forget bring my card he collect the point.

maybe the company got setup rules/policy

I dont feel anything, most of the time when that situation come... Sorry to say, most probably youre a cheapskate...

the problem is i do notice the card is well worn from thousands of swipe.. it could be the station owners card earning dem alot of points.. then how?

u forgot to bring your card, they just making the best out of it la. Chill la bro, it's not as if you can get it back after that. Biar la people nak cari makan

this is exactly what i'm griping at. lagi2 muka ketat yang tak reti nak senyum.

prepare to work part time as cashier liao, brb

There is a story where this kedai makan charged this poor traveller for even smelling his food
They argue, the the wise man came. The wise man heard both story and asked the poor traveller his life saving money. With just 3 coin, wise man hold his palm and began to shake it, which produce noise as coin collide with each other. He told the kedai makan owner whther he heard the sound, yes he said. That is the fair payment for someone smelling a food.

cari makan cara yang halal bro. bukan makan tempias titik peluh orang lain.

no, i dont. i find ur kiamsiapness.... disturbing.

wuts wrong with it?

if u hv the card (forgoten to bring) n she swipe hers, u blame the cashier

if u dun hv the card, u blame her for swiping her card

she manade steal from u? its ur fault. man it n move on la.

same like some race,

if they lazy, blame the pendatang

tak boleh berak, blame the floor hard

If u have discount card, would u give other people to use your card for awhile? Just asking..

small small thing like this also wanna calculate?

they gain abit only while you have nothing to lose for it

OMG i insaf already from that story...

I think people's generosity will dwindle when they found out some of these cashier managed to "cash in" rm3k worth of redeemed stuff from such action.

Same like giving 50 sen to beggar. Those who question such action gets dissed and labelled as "cheapskate" (50 sen oso berkira ?) . When news report said these beggar actually earned more than them salaryworker ..... all starts to butthurt. LOL.

Inb4 every cent counts

Don't mind if I didn't bring my card

But I expect the cashier to be more friendly...smile and greet more

vroooom!

no card/forgot bring card,they swipe,u butthurt?your own fault. don't be cheap la. RM10 purchase you think they got RM10 worth of points?less than 2% I think. want points?bring/get your own damn card. simple

i kena many times by bangla at petrol kiosk, then i wonder to myself and have this mind boggling thought of wondering what are they going to purchase with all that points which is such a mystery to me!!!

actually they swipe for their boss.. lol! employee didnt at anything in the end...

overseas, the cashier swipe hers so i get the member price on some items.. so it's win win

I'm the one who shares your view

you can take a raincheck for those points anyway. Yes la, x baik but nobody loses anything after all

have a big heart sir, don't be like certain people, all things so stingy and want to complain.

normally RM100 rebate rm1. so that's 1%

next time your franchise restaurant ar.. if customer pay cash, pls swipe your personal CC to get points n benefit.. ..

then file a complain

win win instead of major butthurtness

yeah.. doubt the employee dare to pull it off themselves.. got CCTV shining on their face 24/7

shall i provide the maths for you?

each RM1 spent usually accumulates to 1 point. and 1 point usually is valued at about 1sen (in reward). if u fill up petrol of RM100, that's worth RM1 in reward points. if we take a rough estimate of 100 person spending that much but not claiming, they will earn RM100 worth of reward points per day. that's RM3,000 of reward points per month.

yes, malaysia is so charitable. good for us.

if u are cainis, and u open tered like this, hangus la.

wuts wrong with that?

if u hv the card (forgoten to bring) n she swipe hers, u blame the cashier. padahal its ur fault

if u dun hv the card, u blame her for swiping her card. which IS ur fault too

she cash in that amount, is her effort la. ppl put in the effort to cari makan, not like some race, cannot cari makan blame the world

nothing wrong IMO. even if they managed to redeem a luxury car or wtv from those transactions, i would be happy for them.

in fact, the cashier should be praised for thinking outside the box to achieve betterment of themselves.

unless you're saying that the cashier used his/her card instead of mine then I have every reason to be not pleased.

last time got aunty que behind me ask me to swipe for her since i got no card,... i just give lar..

thanks. jom minum. i got reward points to share.

Yes, imagine the amount of points I will obtain
If I don't give you back the 5cent, don't rage at me pls

dat one they ask u rite?

indeed the cashier gets the free money but MANY allowed it to happen, wuts wrong with u? u do ur right to stop it, dah la

not like some race, lazy but blame the world

i doubt your other 3 partners would be pleased..

Rendang or minion?

already got some replies la bro

Hahaha no thanks. Keep it for your future use.

Personally, I don't mind if they do it, especially if they ask nicely. Of course, its totally understandable how you wouldn't accept such behavior. I suppose how you see it as stealing, I see it as taking what I don't need. In fact, I'm more inclined that my purchased can be exchanged to points regardless of whoever gets it, because its such a waste to leave the benefit to the big company like Aeon, bonuslink affliates, etc.

I once worked as a cashier at Ampang Point back when they launched the BonusLink card wayt back in the 1990s. Of course not many customers knew about it first, and majority of the sales staff already had their own and were eager to start cashing in on the points using their customer's purchases. While most of the sales promoter openly ask their customers if its okay to use their bonuslink card seeing that they don't have it yet, some sales assistant were quitely swiping the card behind the cashier's back. Of course situations incurred where agitated customers claimed they couldn't use their bonuslink card because its already been redeemed.

So the management gave out memos to us cashiers to never accept salesperson's bonuslink card. That shows that such actions doesn't forebode well with the management nor to some customers such as yourself. I think its a clear violations even in any membership card to redeem points on purchases not made by the owner of the card. So in terms of regulations, your stand is totally legit.

at shell, u cant swipe 1 bonuslink card for more than 3 transaction. but u can use the same card at other station. this is to prevent this type of issue.

Hahahaha
2only btw

if u dn't have the card, of course they will swipe their own
but of course theres a limit
else the card company will know someone is misusing it

i am that some race. dont vroom here, coz i'll vroom back.

it's wrong, and i'm trying to rally the thoughts of good people in /k/. it seems that everyone is okay with it. which might mean general malaysians are also okay with it.

it's like alanyuppie said, if u donate 50sen to a beggar, nobody'll complain. but when u heard the beggar made RM3k per month just by begging, u'll be the first to be annoyed.

is there any wrong in that?

it's like saying you manage to create something useful out of stuff you found in other's trashcan.

if you managed to do that, would those folks who threw those stuff away supposed to be angry at you?

typical third world country mindset. if others are better then go all jealous and sad. if you're better than others then showoff & brag non-stop

May I ask, why do you feel slighted/strong armed?

As I see it, your rights were not highjacked in any way. You had first right of refusal. At the end of the day, you do not suffer any loss.

Sure, the way the service staff go about it is pretty sneaky, but when I think about it, I'm actually glad to be on the other side of the counter.

i dont think bangla at shell can apply bonuslink ..lol! but nvm ..let ppl dream with how generous they are ... it makes them feel better ... life is hard these days...

SUper win

thank you for that perspective. gave me clearer insight on this matter.

daku lagi rela 1% point dapat kat cashier, dari 6% tax dapat kat gomen

oh, so you are one of those tongkat that hide behind a cainis nick......oh mai.....just saw your siggy.

probably only you who'll be annoyed

to me if a beggar managed to earn a substantial amount just by collecting other's lose change, I'll be impressed with Mr. Beggar and would admire his hardwork & dedication.

Yup, my friend who worked at Shell Station last time say no matter how many points you get for swiping multiple times , every month end when statement comes, the points are cut off.

Most of petrol pump do this.

but now if swipe more than 3 times, it will show amount exceeded at EDC device.

win win, why so kedekut

Cerita lama aku time pergi Jusco dulu.

Awek Cashier: Abang, item ni kalau pakai J-Card ada diskaun. Abang pun dapat point. Abang ada J-Card tak?

Me: Takde.

Awek Cashier: *usha line* Saya pakaikan J-Card saya ye bang. Abang dapat diskaun.

Me:

Sometimes it pays to look good. /perasanmode

if someone is doing this, that means their wage is shit. pity pipul la

because:

I cannot let somebody earn what I didn't earn.

TS ni mesti kuat dengki.. orang berjaya, start maki hamun say tak halal

elite tag somemore, hahaha

it is his points up to him if he wants to earn, give or let it burn.

I get discount they get points, salah ke tu?

they should ask customer if its ok to swipe their own card first

but i dont mind if they dont...

tak kesah sangat...

sikit2 butthurt

I usually ask them to use their cards if I don't have mine or one.

Only in Australia have the person replied they can't do that, because it is a felony and they can lose their job! haha..

Malaysian usually swipes it or politely declines. Oh well..

shell cashier earn lots of bonuslink points.. does bonuslink didnt notice the unusual bonus earning on the same petrol pump? i mean everyday the cashier earns lots of point on the single petrol pump station..

i think this shouldnt be an issue..because we have no tipping culture in our society..the salary still so low...unlike those western country its common to give tips to the bellboy, servicemen, waitress etc.

Will quote this as proof of as an act sedition

It makes me wonder if the job as architect in malaysia is not that secured

dah kena report la bro. selamat bercuti.
