Sydney servo worker baffled as nude man pays for petrol

A worker at a BP service station in inner Sydney saw more than he wanted to when a customer went the Full Monty while casually visiting the store.

The middle-aged man, wearing nothing but thongs on his feet, was pictured walking into the Edgecliff petrol station in Sydney's eastern suburbs over the weekend, seemingly without a care in the world.

With phone in hand, he strolls up to the counter. The worker behind the computerised till appears visibly unsure as he taps the screen to bring up the man's charge.

In CCTV footage posted online by Sydney radio producer Bruno Bouchet, the man can be seen paying for his transaction with his phone before sauntering off.

A worker behind the counter at the service station on Sunday, who was not there at the time of the encounter, said he believed the bizarre moment took place on Friday with photos taken by onlookers since appearing on social media.

"He’s not wearing any clothes, he comes inside that’s it. Maybe he bought some petrol," he told Yahoo News Australia.

The employee said police were not called and there were no disturbances.

"He didn’t do anything," they said.

It is unclear as to the state of mind of the birthday-suited BP customer.

NSW Police said on Sunday they were aware of the incident but confirmed police were not called about the man and they had not enquired into the matter.

Under NSW law, the maximum penalty for someone who "wilfully and obscenely exposes his or her person ... within view from a public place or a school" is six months imprisonment.
