Went to fill up the motorbike the other day and showed the attendant 50.000d note and he nodded.
Once finished he pointed at the petrol meter which showed 50.000 and I handed the 50.000 note over to him. He didnt take the note but pointed again at the meter.
Somewhat confused, I looked at the note again confirming it was indeed the correct amount and handed over to him. In response, he just smirked so I left thinking maybe he was looking for something extra?
Are some petrol attendants looking for a tip?

Maybe he wanted you to pay attention to a motorbike wash discount? J/k 
Probably someone like you offered him a tip before and now he thought why not try it on all those foreigner guys...

You have to watch them. If you fill up, they may not zero out the pump. Happened to.me a few times.

No extras for him and I think he also does not wait for one!
