    penny pot on the desk?

    I always pay petrol with cash as it's one of the most likely places to get your card cloned!

    Ive used my card in petrol stations and its not been cloned,

    It'll only be about 17p is that ok? Just little random amounts to upset him - in the nicest possible way:D

    A few months ago, I filled my car and went it to pay. In front of me was a man who was adament he had only filled his car with £30 of petrol, not £30.01 and refused to pay the penny.

    The assistant said, quite rightly in my view, you've had £30.01 of petrol, you need to pay £30.01. The man carried on saying he hadn't knocked the pump over, it must have been the assistant or another customer.

    The man then refused to let anyone else pay until he could on pay £30. In the end, I gave the assistant the 1p as after 20 minutes and at 10pm at night, I wanted to get home.

    I then was accused by the man of knocking his pump over by 1p and I was obviously guilty, otherwise why would I pay the 1p. I was at a pump on the opposite side, no word of thanks, just abuse as I left.....won't bother next time!

    I would have stuck up for you, and asked the man to leave, You have to press the handle to get petrol so it must be the pump operator doing it not me,

    Or when people who didnt get a 5p voucher from the store kick off at me like its my fault I cant give the 5p off?

    To be honest these people are a bit thick in the first place anyway. If I only have a £20 and no card payment and no other money I wouldn't go and try to buy exactly £20 of petrol, the reason why being obvious! I'd get £19 or £19.50 etc instead.
