    Tesco Do not charge to use C/cards !
  • Is it definitely for using a CC? Wasn't there some measure proposed that supermarkets were going to have to charge 5p per carrier bag at some point. I used CC in Tesco yesterday and wasn't charged extra.

    I don't always check the receipts but i don't think i've ever been charged.

    I don't know. What is going on? :huh:

    Please come back, rather than posting & running.

    Perhaps you could explain?
    Perhaps you could post us some ... er... evidence? :cool:

    If you're in Scotland, it maybe for a carrier bag.

    You're in Scotland or Wales and paid for a carrier bag.
  • If you're in Wales you also get charged 5p for a carrier bag. As others have said it is possibly this.


    Edit: Sorry, my post crossed with peaceful waters who has also pointed out Wales are charged for carrier bags.

    Hello,

    Looking more closely at the receipt and working through to the balance, it now appears that I was given 5p not charged 5p in the line on the receipt:
    Visa Credit Sale £0.05

    Strange but acceptable.
