I guess it's up to the cashier's discretion - how much of a high risk you appear/ how worried he/ she is about losing their job etc. **** happens, don't be too embarrassed by it.

TheBlueDragon Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 No not a joke, I went in and explained to the staff behind the counter, I filled in the sheet and she said to drop it is when I can. They didn't say an exact time or anything. I would go now but I'm that tired it wouldn't be safe for me to drive. So I'm going first thing in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted to ring the police there and then if I was going to do a “drive off” I am not going to stand in the shop just to make sure they get a good mug shot am I.

Rupert_Baehr Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Stuff happens. I wouldn't be surprised if you used that garage again, Draken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaranthus Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I once put £20 petrol in and went inside to pay my rent as well and because the cashier normally knows which pump you're at without you saying anything I presumed he'd added the petrol on. It was only when I got home that I realised I'd not been charged for the petrol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else done this? i wouldnt worry too much, it happens daily. they usually give you a week to come back and pay it. if you dont your details get passed to a debt recovery company. Is this a joke, I have done it before and was given one hour or the police would be wrung. most garages let you do the form filling and give you a week to pay. in 'notorious' areas they make you leave your car there and go and get the money before you are allowed to drive off, they do indeed report you to the police if you refuse. like the driver of the green fiesta i spent nearly 15mins sat behind in a garage in middlewich waiting, until i realised something was amiss - my fault for being too patient i guess.
