Tesco, payign before getting petrol into a cannister?

[Kappa]

....
I am sick and ****ing tired of the comments that say "well it's because there are ****s that steal fuel that we have this in place"; instead of tackling the issue and making it annoying for everyone else to do the stuff they wanna do, tackle the cause of the issue.
....


Just like security at the airport, they don't need to search me ..I'm white, black/brown haired and British. It's the Muslim guy next to me that needs to be searched (or int he olden days the ginger Irish dude). But no, if I happent o walk though the metal detector wearing a LIGHT jacket coz the airport is freaking freezing I get the mandatory "please remove the jacket and scan it" stuff, making me have to be in a tshirt in a cold airport getting patted down.

HAHAHAHA! So whats the CAUSE of the issue? If you know how to stop stealing altogether why dont you enlighten us? or even, go and speak to your local constabulary!

And sorry, that last paragraph was just hilarious, you certainly are the definition of a keyboard warrior! Why didnt you have a go at them and tell them to tackle the 'cause of the issue'?

That's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. Dear lord.

Good lord. What a muppet you are.

I walked up with my £20 hat from next, £55 wolly jacket from Next, £45 trainers from next and £40 jeans from River Island surely the scally manager should have known i wasnt desperate for £4 odd..

Maybe he thought you looked like a shop lifter?

Yer, how about a mandatory 5 years sentence, no parole for the stealing scum?
And make them work it off as hard labour as part of a chain gang.

Why didnt you have a go at them and tell them

Oh, I've had arguements with airport security plenty of times before

Where do you suppose we put all these thieves then? our jail system is full.

Build more prisons, fire all the highway maintenance people and use prison labour for road fixing. This way they'll earn their keep.

As I said, make prisoners work rather than just have a nice holiday

Sorry to be picky but Building new prisons costs money, Making road workers unemployed costs money, Making prisoners work on the roads costs even more money than the road gangs with lesser quality work as a result, All these charges will just be stuck on your Tax bill, Are you a Complete Mentalist per chance ???
How can you think it's ok to jail people at a cost of around 1k a week for 5 years for stealing 5 quids worth of petrol

I think a better idea by somebody not Mental would be just to make All pumps pre pay. Not rocket science is it.

I expect having those arguments really got you a long way.

Lets see - answer any questions, allow items to be scanned - 5 minutes of my time taken.
Be awkward, answer back, "have a go", - 10 minutes of my time taken.

Hmm, last time (Ironically also my first time using a petrol station) I had to fill up a random container, went to the shop and asked what to do, he told me to fill it, then pay.

Heh, good old days .

You could easily be an adept retail park shoplifter then.

It is not my fault that the airport is kept at about 10C in the middle of summer thanks to their "aircon" and as such I happen to be cold standing there in just my tshirt.
I was not even wearing a thick jacket, the top in question was basically a thin shirt made out to be like a jacket. I hardly look like the sort of person who'd be a terrorism

Guess what.
If everyone who was "into terrorism" actually looked like they were "into terrorism" then life would be all rather easy.
We wouldn't be at any kind of risk and we'd simply need one person watching our borders pulling out the people who look like they are "into terrorism".

Funnily enough it doesn't work that way and terrorists try to blend in with those around them.
You look every bit a terrorist as anyone else does - because basically anybody could be a terrorist.

 

[kaiowas]

Can't say I've ever had trouble filling up a canister, but then I usually do it whilst I'm also filling the car so I doubt the attendant usually even notices.

To me, most terrorists look like Muslims right now, though that changes time to time

You read the Daily Mail don't you?

Thats what i do, never been questioned about it, before or after i have filled up.

 

[jongeeone]

Mental.... You paid £55 for a jumper from Next?

 

[SinaiSound]

On a vaguely related note, when I was in Florida, every single petrol station I went to you had to pay before they'd let you fill up. Almost every single pump had a card machine because of this.

Why isn't it more widely adopted here?
