    Last Sunday, we passed by SLEX and exited at Santa Rosa. The toll was supposed to be P175, and we gave P1000 to get change. So, we drove off a bit as one of us counted the change that was given to us at the toll both. To our surprise, kulang ng P505 yung sukli namin. So we went back and asked for the change. When she approached our car and gave our change, kulang pa rin ito ng P5. Sensing something fishy, we filed a complaint sa SLEX management. Sabi nila, they'll take note of it and they'll scold the teller daw. So, it's done.

    But after a few days, our company driver told us that SLEX regularly gives him incomplete change. Kaso lang, in his case, he couldn't count it kasi mag-isa lang siya and he doesn't want to impede traffic.

    Has anyone experienced this too? Parang there is something fishy going on with the SLEX management. Or, if nagkakamali man yung teller nila, then they should train them better para maiwasan ito. Ang mahal mahal na nga ng toll sa SLEX tapos lolokohin pa tayong mga motorista.

    i dont know if kaya nila ipuslit yung excess na pera nila pero yung mga cashier kasi sa dept.store where I used to work, kulang or excess man yung kaha mo may penalty ka, pag malaking amount subject to investigation ka pa...

    better count the change na lang before you leave, di bale na makatrapik mas abala syo yang ganyang babalik-balikan mo pa sila.

    Sana nga ganun din sa mga tollway. Pero medyo katakataka lang that it happened a couple of time already sa driver namin.

    well, madaling isuksok ang 500 sa bra or panty, i dont think kinakapkapan sila hanggang doon.

    Nangyari yan sa isang branch ng bank na alam ko before. May short na pera... talagang walang alisan hanggang may umamin. Nung nagka-bukingan, sa loob ng panty tinago.

    Eh pati yung ECTag ng SLEX, nagkakalokohan dati.

    I also try to keep exact (or near exact) change when i'm on SLEX. Most of the time talaga we rarely count the change given you want to make traffic move fast.

    you can avoid the hassle by taking pains to have the exact amount before you embark on your trip.
    the best way to avoid getting short-changed, is to deny them the opportunity to do so.
    but i agree with you... having no change in the cashbox is poor management..

    What I do is even if I drive alone, I count the change first before leaving the teller's booth para sigurado.

    Pero most of the time naman I always have loose change sa kotse kaya napapadalas eh kahit dun sa ako sa exact toll walang problema.

    So better bilang muna sukli bago umalis sa tapat. Dapat magaling ka rin sa math hehehhe

    medyo OT lang ng konti pero just last week naman sa c5 exit meron isang van nag swerve sa kaliwa, dun sa exact toll. kasi maiksi pila dun. im two cars behind dun sa van until i noticed na natatagalan yung van sa teller.

    obviously buo pera nya. when i asked the teller bat natagalan sabi sa akin, "eh sir no choice buo pera nila sinuklian ko pa"

    anak ng teteng eh para san pa ang nakalagay na NO CHANGE dun sa lane na yun?

    If you frequent SLEX, then it is advisable to get one.

    Two weeks ago, I fetched my sister from the airport. Took skyway and exited at the Terminal 3 exit. Grabbed some cash from my pocket then reached out to the teller with what i thought was a 20-peso bill, then i immediately drove off as she has already given me the ticket/receipt. As i cross the steel barrier i heard her shouting "Sir, yung sukli niyo po! Sir! Sir! Change!".
    It was around 3am that time so i was able to back up because there werent any cars behind me.
    Sleepy me, i mistakenly gave out php500 instead of a 20peso bill because trust me, they look the same on a quick glance in the dark.
    She wasnt bad looking at all so I told her in very calm tone that she should handover receipts with the change, if theres any.
    I thanked her for being such a good samaritan and tried to joke about how she should have just kept the change for herself but she was just all smiles.

    it might not be corruption sir.. like i said i could be wrong.. but why is it that in countries like australia toll ways are opened and in less than 5 years the toll ways are free already. what would you call a situation where a project has been paid for.. but they are still charging people who use it.. anyways i guess im wrong..

    no, you are not wrong. remember the north and south diversion roads of old? we were complaining why toll was still being collected, years after the cost of construction and the projected profits had been realized..
    and if i remember right, there were questionable points in the slex contract back then..
