Motorists angry with Tesco for taking 'crazy' amount from their bank accounts
A man who visited a Tesco petrol station was left "gobsmacked" after £120 was debited from his account. He had put just £15 worth of fuel in his car and paid at the pump.
The sign at the cash desk said: "Please note, paying at pump with your card will automatically charge £120 then refund the difference back to your account from your fuel total. The policy is being rolled out at forecourts across the UK due to the rising cost of fuel, and is intended to stop people driving off without paying for fuel, or filling their car with more than they can afford.
"Have more security at pumps if that is the issue. What if there was a family filling up on their way to Tesco and only had £120 left in their bank and then went to try and do a food shop and couldn't pay? "I spoke to a security guard who asked me if the amount was £120. When I said yes he said it was normal and that it should go back into my account shortly.
Some Tesco petrol garages still only take £1 from accounts, but the new £120-checking system will be rolled out to all of them by the end of the year. Tesco explained that the fee is in line with with Mastercard and Visa requirements.
