Default subtle Optimax marketing ploy

Filled up yesterday morning. Conversation went something like.

Me: "Number 3 please"

Attendant: "Ahh a shell optimax buyer. On of our special customers. In my opinion the finest petrol you can buy in the country. I love that petrol."

Me: laughing: "err ok"

attendant. "Thank you for purchasing our special brand and enjoy the rest of you drive with the finest petrol"



Have they been indoctrinated at Shell boot camp?
