I also use Tesco Pay at the Pump. If there is a car waiting behind you at least they can see you're being as quick as possible.

If I pulled forward at the garage I usually use I’d be blocking the way out, just saying ?

I usually use the Tesco 'pay at the pump' facility which speeds things up a bit.

Worse is the person who is just ahead of you when there are two vacant pumps and who stops at the first one!!

Isn't it annoying? Been there, steamed that steam! grin

Does anybody ever think to pull forward when they have filled up and there is a queue behind them at the pumps?
Or do you (like the driver in front of me) collect your handbag, carefully lock the car, head off to pay, come back to check the number of the pump, queue at the counter (possibly) buy a snack or bar of choccy, use the “facilities” all before paying and then not even notice the head of steam coming out of the car waiting to take your place at the pump?
No? So it wasn’t you who kept me waiting and made me 15 minutes late this morning then?

Seriously, how hard would it be?
