Tesco Petrol Station

OK Tesco filling station which enjoys usual lower supermarket prices. Only pain with this one is it's location right at the back of the Tesco car park. So you have to negotiate cars (and queue) all the way in and then all the way out again.

Well where to start. I had been put off this station by a few of the reviews on here, so was reluctant to use it. However having been to the cinema next door and with my car begging me to fuel her I gave in and entered this petrol haven. Initially I must say I ended up agonisingly close to satisfying my cars needs, only to enter the Staples car-park having thought it to be a rear entrance to the station. I could put this down to my own incompetence but I will deduct 1 star for the poor sign postage and lighting (considering this was a late november evening). However my anguish soon turned to joy as I found the correct entrance to the station and parked up beside the available unleaded fuel pump. The pay at the pump function was refreshing too as it meant I did not even have to venture to the store where i no doubt would have been tempted with some of Tescos fine products.
All in all, considering the competitive price of the fuel, the convenient location and available pumps to use its safe to say both me and my car were left more than content.

Good pay at pump. You have to go through the whole Tesco car park to get to it and then fight your way out. Sainsburys by a1 usually cheaper

Every time I've been, something is always broken or out of fuel. Be it the printer or the card scanner or pumps. Apart from that, the fuel is pretty good price so yeah

Its nice to drive all the way into the petrol station to then not be told they have no diesel(!) Maybe put a sign up or turn off the price light!

Tesco's are doing something to this place. Benn closed for about two months. When it reopens be careful on weekend afternoons as it may take up to half an hour to get out of Tesco's carpark .

Stopped by at about 3pm on a Wednesday.
Filled up with fuel,
Managed to leave the car park at 3:45, something needs to be done about exiting the car park here

You don't get the fuel for your money!! I travel 110 miles for work everyday when I full up at ASDA the diesel lasts me 6 work days. A full tank at tesco only lasted me 3 and a half!!! I drive at around the same speed as its up the A1. I'll never refill here again.

Between 17:30-17:40.i filled up and paid. The cashier seemed to be an honest old man.
When i ask if i could change my £10 note to 2x £5 note. He said he could check his till. But insisted that he would not be able to give me back my £10 note if he opened the till. Which i thought was odd. I said ok please see if there are £5 notes.
He opened and promptly said ,and i quote, “ yup i thought so, there is no £5”
I was gutted but said yeah thats fine thank you for trying. After giving me the 10x£1 coin. We parted ways.
I walked back to my car did some shopping in tesco and went home. I paid everything my card in tescos.
When i got home i noticed one of the £1 coin looked different. It was a €1.

This could all be an accident but in hindsight the moral of the story is to check the change you are given after a transaction. Its only £1. So it would be harsh to punish but may be worth reminding cashier to stay vigilant. For Some people £1 is worth a lot.
