I was told because it is owned or operated by Booths supermarket that they sell the fuel at virtually cost price as it draws customers into the store and to the other businesses on site.
So when someone calls in for fuel they might decide to do some shopping and they then make profit than the 5p per litre they earn from fuel.
Many other supermarkets have tried to offer 5p or 10p off fuel if you spend £50 in store in the past but Booths appear to be offering at least 5p off a litre with the hope you will then do your shopping in their store after or time and time again
There was no indication that it was closed on Easter Sunday.
Dozens of puzzled customers, including me, pulling in, putting fuel hose into car, nothing happening and then looking towards the shop and realising there were no lights on and shop closed.
Then putting hose back on pump and driving off, unfuelled, to make way for the next unsuspecting motorist to pull in and try his luck.
Would it have required too much effort to put a few cones across the entrance or a closed sign?
As I approached there were at least 3 or 4 other drivers trying to get fuel, and the same number as I drove off 😂🤣😂
