14N Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Called in last night at a well known brand of supermarket petrol station that sell 99RON super unleaded and put in my usual weekly amount of £70. Went to pay and there was a small queue (5-6 people) and asked for my pump when I got to the till. The cashier tapped away on her touch screen, looked confused, tapped away a bit more and then “somebody’s already paidâ€. “I’m sorry, what do you mean?†I asked. “Someone has paid for your fuel. Are you sure you have the right pump?†“Yeah, the grey 350Z over there†pointing to my car. “Yeah, someone’s paid for that pump†At this point a queue was starting to form again and to cut the story short, I had to stand to the side and wait till the queue died down, so we could see which pump remained unpaid, so I could settle ‘their’ bill (which I was okay with as long as it was less than £70). Turns out they only put £35 of fuel in their car, equalling half price fuel for me! Yay! So, not only did they fail to notice and give their correct pump number, when asked to enter their card and check the amount, they also failed to notice the cost had doubled. Just means I missed out on £35 worth of Clubcard points. Dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Why not do a bit of a drive for free then whack £35 in to get your points. RESULT!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Haha nice one. I'm sure you can find consolidation in the £35 you saved to forgive them the 3p or whatever it is that you lost on CC points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I think we should stop a moment and think of the poor person that is now £35 down, that could be the difference between their kids getting new uniform from ASDA for school this year or not getting that new Xbox game that little Johnny wanted for his birthday Nah feck it they shouldn't be such a dumbass and just punch in their pin without checking anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Lucky sod - wish someone would pay for my fuel or even half of it. I'm getting to know all the petrol station staff again now I have the Zed back - 3 fill ups in 4 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 When I was entering my PIN (after checking the amount of course), the cashier felt it necessary to APOLOGISE FOR MY WAIT!!! "It's okay" I said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's okay" I said Ha ha brilliant, I'd have asked for a free chocy bar for the inconvenience. They're always trying to push 2 4 1 deals, even after you have paid at Shell.
