Take your bucket off pay them 20 quid on your card and make sure you put in £20-49 pence, go back in to the kiosk and offer them your card to pay the extra 49p and grin at them, it costs usually 50p for every card transaction, and most garages will not let you use a card for any sales less than £5.
Oh! Sorry mate never carry cash as I find I don't need to in a world of plastic. Make sure you have the broadest grin on your face, really exaggerate it. It makes them scratch their heads, if they say you will have to put in another £4-51 to round it up to the minimum £5, sorry mate the tank is full would not hold another drop, they then say they will have to charge you the minimum of £5 for the transaction refuse to put your card in the machine, see if they are going to call the police for 49pence, and what a twat they are going to look when the police turn up and you explain what has happened. Especially as you have NO CASH, I don't think the police will search you.
Fuck them all. :lol
I hate the stupidity of the garages as much as anyone else, go along with them then turn it around and laugh at them.
I wouldn't mind betting the copper puts his hand in his pocket and pays the 49p for you, then bollocks the attendant for wasting police time. :lol

Then walk back into the kiosk smiling at the attendant walk over to the coffee machine stick you hand in your pocket get out some cash and purchase a coffee and walk out. :rollin :rollin :evil
You're a right nasty bastard at times Tommy....but I love this approach. I can't wait for the next time they ask me to lose my lid :lol :lol :lol
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
