Do you have to go through a manned till to have them “activated” or can you go through Self service? Thanks.

1 X 5000
3 X 500
1 X 200
Pleased with what I got, think I might get another £20 of petrol in my car.
Definitely only spent what I needed too, 2x £10 fuel which I get every week there anyway, treated meself to a jumper 25% off, 2 lots of clothes for grandsons birthday.
Kids clothes do seem much better quality.

How does one do 2 x £10 petrol at once? Ta
No time for me to do it today so it will have to be tomorrow.... today now doh. Dd1 football at 9 and 2 degrees plus windchill on offer
Pull up to pump, put a tenners worth in, replace pump for 10 seconds, pick up pump again, wait for authorisation, put another tenners worth in, go to kiosk and pay in 2 transactions, rinse and repeat til tank is full!
I did ask the girl on till if I could do it again and she said "go for it, a bloke earlier done it 5 times!"
who am I to complain!
