In the June 14th edition of the Sunday Times, there is an article in the Home section that says “Service Stations:: Dog Bath with your Petrol, Sir? “ Nowadays you can do more than just filling your tank in petrol kiosks. There were a few tips given by Straits Times on what else you can do, SGTOP10 has decided to provide an unbiased view on these extras and also top it up to make a 10 things you can do at a petrol kiosk
.
Cash Withdrawal
Nowadays, you can practically see ATM machines in each petrol kiosks. Different banks have different collaborations with the petrol chains. For example, in Shell Stations, you will have UOB ATM machines whereas in Esso stations, you will find DBS tellers and Citibank ATMs. Esso Newton even has a drive through ATM.
What kicked off the idea of having ATM machines in petrol kiosks? Is it due to drivers not having credit cards or cash to pay for petrol? Well that doesn’t make sense because they cialis sale still can pay by NETS. Anyone know of why atms ?

Bathe your dog!
Yes, I am not kidding. Indicated in the Straits Times, you can do this at Caltex Station along East Coast Station. It is not too difficult to guess why it is located at East. This is because East Coast is where all the private housings are, pets there live better than some humans in my opinion.
.
Laundry Service
Express Laundry Service is available at Upper Thomson Station. That makes it really convenient for the busy executive. I will make use of this service as I hate doing the laundry myself.
.
Quick Bites 
Old Chang Kee is now located at selected Caltex stations. You cal also find Delifrance or Polar Puffs atATMs. Esso stations too.
Feeling hungry? Grab a curry puff from Old Chang Kee or a croissant from Delifrance while waiting for your car. I wish there is Starbucks too.
.
Pay Your Bills
I often miss due dates to post cheques for payment and I end up calling the service desk for overdue fines for waiver. For drivers like me, going to a shopping mall to pay for these bills will mean additional cost incurred from parking.
So I make it a point to put all my bills in the car, and pay it whenever I need to top up my petrol. The AXS stations that are conveniently located within the kiosks.
.
Shop for fresh groceries.
Gone are the days where fresh groceries can only be obtained from wet markets and supermarkets. At the Lorong Chuan Esso kiosk, drivers can now get fresh groceries ranging
from vegetables to fresh fruits!

Postal Pickup Services
With online shopping becoming more popular, we need faster and easier way to access our parcels.

Media Broadcasting
Can we have TVs in the petrol marts? They can keep drivers occupied while waiting. The petrol queues can be relatively long during peak hours. It also keeps the staff awake for those doing the night shift.
