After knowing that we can actually top-up our Touch N Go card in Shell petrol station, today I went there to do it.

touch N go

Cashier: Boss, how much?

Me: RM60

Cashier: Boss, only Rm50 or Rm10. Or … you want me to top up Rm50 followed by Rm10?

I started to wonder why this guy even need to ask me this question. Wasn’t that pretty obvious the thing that should be done?

I grumpily agreed to his question.

The hard truth only hit me when I look at the receipts.

Apparently, 50 cents will be charged per transaction, regardless of the amount.

So while I only paid 1% for the first transaction, I paid a hefty 5% for the second transaction.

Dumb me.

    It’s a pretty dumb rule, if you ask me. Why can’t they just allow you to top up any amount in a single transaction? It’s all computerized anyway…

    haha~~ it’s kinda expensive to top up only RM10.
    I usually top up at the KTM counter, it’s free of charge. :p
