Tesco pay at pump...

[Saytan]

why do people buy £5 of petrol and then pay in the shop?

Meh, I like human interaction and don't trust machines.

I Dont trust machines because i work in IT

Has anyone who has paid for their fuel at the pump at a Tesco garage, ever managed to get their sodding clubcard keyring to actually scan on their scanner?

No.

have had it work once or twice when they introduced it but now i just take the reciept and get them put on later, dont even bother trying to scan it.

Clubcard keyring always works fine for me .

why do people buy £5 of petrol and then pay in the shop?

- Scared of paying at pump for reasons of a fear of technology.
- Wanted a carton of milk in the shop.
- Had a money off voucher, which can only be redeemed in the shop.
- Prefer dealing with a human rather than a machine.
- Did not have any cards with them, only cash.

Take your pick.

I always use pay at pump at the local asda, huge queues at the regular pumps and the 2 paps are always empty.

Mine works, you are doing it wrong


PS: You need to insert it in an unnatural way for it to work.

Works fine for me, and i use it every time i fill up. I can either scan it or insert it wher i place the card itself, done both and both work.

Works for me everytime.

i hate any kind of pay at pump everytime i've used one it's always overcharges me, granted i took my bank statement and receipt in with me but its just the principle of it.

The amount of times i have gone to the pump and waited only to realise you have to push the pay at kiosk button. Always gets me.

I only pay at counter,

Pay at the pump is an amazing advancement, I can't understand how hardly anybody is ever using them, I often go to the petrol station and see 5+ cars waiting for pumps but with the PATP ones completely free. I can't even begin to understand why this is, what's the difference between putting your card in a machine inside or one at the pump, besides saving loads of time and making everything much faster

Aha, it's when the loudspeaker comes on and you hear the petrol attendant shouting "Number 4, press the pay at pump or pay at kiosk button!" that I start to chuckle.

My wife used the pay at the pump at our local shell garage. put in £30.00 and has never been charged for it. She got the receipt and everything. money is still sitting in the account and that was about mid summer last year

Works for me! I do have to hold the clubcard a fair distance away from the protective plastic cover in front of the scanner. Too close and it doesn't work at all, even though I can see the laser squiggles clearly over the barcode.

The Asda in Hatfield petrol station is pay at pump only, no messing around there!

I don't understand this human interaction argument? What do they do? Enquire as to your enjoyment of purchasing the petrol, do a short survey on the stores image and ask "did you find everything you were after?".
No. They say the amount, then say enter your pin, then ask if you want a receipt. Spookily, this is exactly what happens at pay at pump only you don't have to wait around for 5 minutes for the **** in front of you to pick up a lucozade sport and some travel sweets!
