Just used one of their new touch screen fuel pumps.
Am I imagining it or ... on the old pumps if you just put your debit/credit card in, that the machine just registered the fact that you were going to pay at the pump or did you HAVE to choose pay cashier or pay at pump.

Woman cashier said you had to choose  ..... I said you didn't   

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

She was correct. 

[Sir Tigger KC]

I've always chosen first.  Never thought about putting my card in without pressing the buttons. 

Andy might be right though, that if you just put your card in, the machine assumes your going to pay at the pump. Why else would you put your card in?

Pay in Kiosk, Pay at Pump, this all sounds very complicated. In our neighbouring village garage we still have a man/woman that comes out and fills up for you. Their fuel is always cheaper than anywhere else as well.
How old school is that.

A salute and cheery wave as you depart.

I haven't had a salute from a RAC motorbike patrol for years.

I regularly get the two fingered salute from other motorists, but sometimes they can only be bothered with one.

Always had to select round these parts, unless it was a Pay at Pump only, or the kiosk was closed

[Andy B]

Thanks lads ..... 

seems I was wrong

On the upside, Tesco Pay at Pump is now £120

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

On the upside, Tesco Pay at Pump is now £120

The upside would be pay at pump is £20 because you can fill a 20 gallon tank for £20.

Indeed. When fuel was at its highest price, £100 wasn't much more than 1/2 a tank on the ML (93 litre tank so when I'd wanted a full tank I tried a 2nd fill at the same pump .... it wouldn't let me.
I did email Tesco to ask them when they were going to raise the limit in line with Costco. I just got a standard automated reply.

Do they sell 2 and 3 star fuel and Paraffin as well

They do sell paraffin, but no 2 or 3 star.    Also, no two stroke mix shot pump anymore, 
just modern pumps with the polite personal service and a friendly chat. Quite cute really, and nostalgic for those of us that remember the forecourt staff.
