This ever happened to you?
I was in Morrisons petrol, had to use the kiosk as I had a "5p per litre off" voucher and I was also due a miles voucher too. I had been on pump 4, told the woman this (I remember saying it because I was looking at the big #4 above my car as I said it). Didn't pay much attention to what was going off.
The txn had nearly finished, I paid by card, she was about to hand my reciept etc back to me, and a man asked for pump 7 at the next till. The woman serving me said you cant be, this gents just paid for pump 7. It then clicked in my head that I'd only paid for about £38, I had totted up a random number over £50, i brimmed it. It didnt help that they had taken off the discount so the amount they were charging was nothing like the amount on the pump, or I might have noticed. I had been charged for pump 7.
All hell broke loose then, as did the calculators and a ZIP ZAP machine
I couldnt quite believe it when she got that out. Of course, added to the confusion was the matter of miles points and the 5p per litre discount. The other gent had to be charged for my diesel (£13 more) on his card, then refunded back via zip-zap.
Oh and to top it off, the woman forgot to give back my miles card. I had used 5000 points to get the voucher, but there was still about 4000 on it from pay at pump txns. I didnt notice she hadnt given it back because I was in rather a hurry to leave (though it wasnt my fault), there was a long queue of impatient looking customers at this point (it had taken 10 minutes), and the forecourt (16 pumps) was silent. On exiting the forecourt, there were about 15 cars queueing to use the station.
I still dont know if i got 5p per litre off the extra amount i was charged. I didnt get a reciept, just a zip zap carbon.
Happy days!
Im just thinking now, what if the guy next to me had been further back in the queue and I had left having paid for his petrol but not my diesel, would I be bilking?
