Is that really the best idea, if the proprieter you think is competent*, informing
him will maybe give him the opportunity to educate his errant employee or/and
ultimately stop that employee overfilling other customer's cars with possibly
worse effects than you incurred.
* I would suggest he is incompetent in allowing this to happen. However, he may be
ignorant of actual practice, feedback is essential!
Not providing the feedback is tacit support for the malpractice.
