VAT receipts from petrol stations

Quite simple really, Why do I sometimes get asked if I'd like a VAT receipt and other times not? I go to the same petrol station week in week out but depending on who is serving, some ask me, some don't :confused:

Why do they seem to think I should be able to claim it back?

I would have thought it'd be easier to leave it up to the customer to ask for one.

I dont bother asking, i just give the receipts to the customer anyway. I only get a very small amount of people who do ask for them. If they don't want the receipts they just ask me to throw it in the bin.

I probably don't ask mind as recently it just seemed like i was questioning the customer a hell of a lot which is annoying.

Can't you just give it them with the other receipt, without asking?
