what really?

Flat-Four

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 was about to come and make this same rant about Tescos. Filling up and then going to the kiosk to pay on their ****ing card. What is wrong with these idiots, thats what the bloody slot is on the pump for!

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

See.. about people paying with their card in the kiosk when theres a slot on the pump. If I wasn't paying by cash I wouldn't need to be in the kiosk would I?

Another pet hate of mine: People who decide to wait on their side for the pump to become available and then give me funny looks because I have the sense to drive to a free one and then stretch the pump over?!

i also avoid the supermarket fuel depots for all the resons outlined above
unless ive abslouty hit rock bottom

- also like to avoid repeating the last dirty fuel faisco!!!! _( at least they reimbursed me in good time )

lovinmescoob

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

Loost

Ive rolled up at Those tescos pay@pump things expecting to stick the credit card in but oooh no - its got to be a tesco clubsaver card ,right
and anyway its never been an option everytime ive pulled up!

ilogikal1

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.

StickyMicky

have you seen the damage one of them hoses can do to peoples paintwork?

wouldnt be me stretching one over my car

Prasius

Same here.. I'd rather wait - if someone wants to drag one over their car feel free to go in front. I ain't.

Loost

a ***** site less damage than sticking it thro a car wash

Prasius

I don't put my car through a car wash either so

richardg

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!

Gilesdwrc

Erm how about open the boot, route hose under lid, then you only have to worry about the foot nearest the nozzle.

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!!

simscooby

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

windyboy

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

The Asda petrol station near me closes at 9 on a Sunday night !!

Windyboy.

StickyMicky

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
