"Do you have a loyalty card sir?" the lady asks... Well, I happen to have one on my keyring, so we go through the process of scanning it... "You did see the sign dint you sir?' is the next question...

What sign? I ask - The one that says we cant accept cash at the moment - Only debit or credit cards... Well I was going to pay by card anyway, so no big deal - BIZARRE - But no big deal.

I place card in machine, and enter pin...

Do you want to use your 2 pence per litre discount on todays fuel, or save it up ?

What? I just wanna pay for the fuel I've put in the car and fuck off... But NO... I've now gotta play 20 fucking questions regarding an irrelevant amount of money... 'Whatever' I politely say...

No sir, you have to tell me - I cant decide for you - Its company policy....

FFS!!! Whatever happened to just putting gas in the car, paying with cash and being on your way? I felt like I had been selected to appear on 'Who wants to be a millionaire' TV show with all the questions and messing about...

Sorry - Just wanted to vent....
