Tesco garage just rounded up my £4.25 bill by 75p (for a charity) without asking. I don't know what charity. But am too embarrassed to ask for a refund - nobody want's to be seen as being mean. I don't believe Tesco should presume an opt in approach.

I don't understand how this happened? Was this a pay at pump transaction where you put your card in first then filled up with £4.25 of fuel but were then charged £5 automatically?

It hasn't happened to me yet but I agree with others that I decide which charities to give to. I wouldn't feel at all embarrassed to ask for a refund. If it is happening it is anyway a poisoned chalice as some will always object to particular charities..

Pay at pump this morning Tesco and no rounding up charge is 47.27  not 48.00 .

Tesco make enough money to donate, without the thought of asking me. If they did, they can put the job lot back on the shelf.

You do know that when Tesco ask you and you say no that’s you deciding what you do. 

Your problem is you don’t want Tesco to engage with you on this matter so really your best option is not to shop there anymore for the month of September. 

Also you could DECIDE never to shop there again because they did such a shocking thing. 

Who I give my money to charity is my business and my business only. I do not like pedlars and beggars forcing their wish onto me. End of.

I do not have a problem.

Oh well hope you don’t shop at Tesco over the coming 13 days or so as those pedlars and beggars could well be asking you if you wish to donate

I wasn't clear, it was pay at the till (milk & bread), in the shop associated with the garage. The lady presented the bill & I paid contactless, my bad for not checking detail before paying. Once I found out, it was too late - who wants to make a fuss about a charity payment ? - I except earlier comments, when it comes to Tesco a little extra diligence is required ref there 'money practices'. I suppose had I walked out with a 75p snack it would have been considered theft with the potential of police involvement.

Someone who only has a couple of quid in the bank as it's near pay day but who still has to get to work maybe?

There's been posts about this happening on our local facebook but it's been in store not in the garage.

Me, I fill my tank up to when it stops filling.

Why does this organisation that makes profits of £1,850,000,000 force its staff, some of whom may not want to, to express on their customers to pay a charity, when they could donate from their profits.

My financial and charity decisions are my concern and my concern only. I do not need a corporate body to enforce their token charity onto me.
