I got sick of this as well and have since started ordering my petrol off the internet. I book in the refill the day before and pay by card. the next day at the pre arranged place a tanker turns up and fills up my car and that's it. Easy! You guys need to move with the times

What about the ********* who jump the queue because the space infront of you is free? People who sneak through the gap really **** me off. I think they do it on purpose

I do tend to loudly comment that I wonder what they put the little card slots on the machines for whenever I go in to pay cash and this happens.. I think the individuals who do it are probably a bit too dim to realise I'm talking about them.

If you said that in earshot of me then I would loudly comment right back to you that I wonder why there is also a button at the pump for the option of paying in the kiosk if Tesco did not intend for people to have the choice of paying by cash

For me, the thing that does my head in is when someone decides to pull up at the only pump on the forecourt that has super unleaded, when all they want is unleaded, they could just has easy use one of the other pumps that have unleaded or diesel in 'em

All the pumps at the Tesco by me are the pay@pump ones, problem is they never accept anyone's cards. I've never once seen anyone manage to actually pay at the pumps so you end up having to wait longer in the queue for the people in fron to try thier card two or three times before realising it's not going to work and then have to pay by card in the kiosk anyway.

of course. where have you been since the blockades a few years ago? surely this is common knowledge these days?
similar to to having your heating oil topped up at home (if you're using oil as no gas locally), but obviously much more frequent than that!

The Shell at Burnt Common, Ripley is a real mare.
Mornings, you queue behind all the locals that are only in for their milk and papers.
Evenings, it's all the kids being picked up by their mums at school bus chucking off time.
AND, they have 2 tills, only 1 of which is ever open!

pet hate: people who pull up and spend ages faffing before getting out and filling OR take ages after getting in before pulling off.

You guys must all live down south to experience such mayhem at the petrol pump...........Ooop north, buying fuel is easy, as no-one wants to hang around at a petrol station, as they are havens for drug dealers congregating in their X5s/q7s/(dare I say it....scoobies), and no decent person wants to hang a round a second longer than necessary in case they bump into one of the hoodlums!!

I hate Tesco for this they have no regard for the poeple living around thes petrol station/food stores. Our loacl one is an absoloute nightmare. It is allways rammed full and all because poeple do they're weekly shop while they're car is sitting at the pump. The que backs out onto the road and cause massive tailbacks. And to top it all off there are another 2 Tesco express within 3/4 mins drive of the petrol station one.
Tesco are too big and are a joke, all they care about is themselves making bucks.
Thats my rant over haha
p.s. but i do still use them

Tesco's pay@pumps are such a pain because the slot in the pump isn't big enough to fit a pound coin into so you have to pay inside anyway ![Lol](images/smilies/lol.gif)
The Asda petrol station near me closes at 9 on a Sunday night !!

totally depends on the car wash.......
you should see the amount of gimps who have hose marks across the boot of the car, and then go through my wash and try and claim on the insurance about it.
so you are simply wrong PMSL
