This is a good way to stop people filling up their car and then driving off without paying - a big problem for garages in some areas.

It also stops people going in to the shop and buying their weekly groceries, making a coffee and waiting for a hot dog to cook, whilst their car sits there blocking a pump

Pay at the pumps is easier than joining here and asking about it. The petrol stations I use only have pay at pump.

Thanks for the help Dean. Am I correct in thinking that the only charge that should appear on my card is the fuel I pay for and not the £99?

Yes.. The £99 is the maximum amount you can spend up to. Once you get used to it you will prefer to use it because its quicker than queuing to pay .Don t forget to scan your Tesco loyalty card first.
Thieving petrol is very common in my area.There is even a name for it "melking "..False plates, easily bought on an online auction site with no real checks have made this crime very common in my area.. I would be surprised if Tesco ban cash transactions in the near future

I don't think I've been in a petrol station shop this decade.
