Matt_Zoot Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Right, I need some petrol but have about 20p to my name. Was thinking about filling up, then going in and doing the ol' forgotten my wallet routine. Is there a form I can fill out or something so I can go back and pay when i've got money?

minitrialer Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 A lot of petrol stations (The big ones) will make you leave your car! So it probably isn't worth the risk. I did it once accidently and the bloke let me come back after taking my name. Can't you borrow some money or dip into an overdraft? There must be someone??

Seems a bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavyn. Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 usually they'll take your name address and registration then you have to go back as soon as possible and pay. If you leave it three days the police will be after you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr ailsbury Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I work in a Somerfields petrol stationiff you just drive off they've got your car reg written down and got you on CCTV and stuff so they just give your details to someone who tracks it and you get sent a fine or summatIf you go in and give the forgot my wallet bull they take your details and you fill a form in then you have like 7 days to pay for it. if you don't pay within that time you get sent a fineJust don't drive off because whoevers dserving at the time gets a bollocking off the supervisor and stuff, sometimes they make the staff member pay for it aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr ailsbury Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Just like pay by card then, when the machine doesn't accept it they'lll say have you got the cash to pay for it, say no they'lll take yoour details and then you have to go back with the money when you've got it.

Siders77 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Just don't drive off because whoevers dserving at the time gets a bollocking off the supervisor and stuff, sometimes they make the staff member pay for it aswellThat's a bit stupid isn't it? How are the staff supposed to stop someone doing it? Make them run out and jump on the back of the car so they stop?! I went into a Shell near me the other week to get some petrol, went in and my card was refused because the money for my Insurance was taken out before it should have been. The woman said she needed something with my details on it, luckily I had the insurance paper with my breakdown cover number on so I gave her that, she took the rest of my details and let me go.

MadManMike Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 They can't make you pay for it, and they can't tell you off for it.If anything it's their own fault for not hiring more staff, but even then people will still drive off.Seriously, tell your supervisor to shut up - he / she is talking crap.

Tony Harrison Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 If your supervisor makes you pay, take them to a tribunal.I'd never work for someone like that... like everyone has said, what do they expect you to do, whip out a crossbow and skewer the f'cker?
