Thats the stupid thing with this country and it's 1 and 2p pieces. We dumped the equivalent in Australia so 5cents is the lowest coin denomination. So if you paying cash at the pump you put in $10.02 and it's only $10 
Over a year it would add up I suppose.
Of course if you pay by credit card they charge you that extra amount though

I go over on porpoise; it stops me walking lob-sided 
And why would you put £10 in
I just put a tenner in the old runaround ive got,i double checked yep a tenner i dont need a penny from my car...gets to the counter and he asks me for £10...and a PENNY.....no i only put a tenner in (standing my ground for once,i normally just pay it)..its no biggy as ive got £200 in my pocket...
Then he sez na mate you went over its £10 and a penny but ime not gonna argue over a penny
...Damn right your not gonna argue over a penny i said cos i only put a tenner in!
I pay him the tenner and as i walk of Jobsworth makes a comment to the next customer about the penny
I turn round,Ime thinking its not the penny ...i know what i did and ime not senile yet...
the penny this guys calling me a liar and now mocking me with the next customer..... so i said "you got anything to say mate"...he dips his head ...i walk off.
I cant believe i got worked up over a poxy penny
Ime sure there's a conspiracy going on here
i have never had the pump increase after i stop filling. i often end the filling on a round amount cos i pay with cash as often as my card so it is easier to end on a full pound.
i would have thought that once the pump nozzle is back in its holder then it is automatically stopped from increasing.

I reckon the cashiers have got a secret 'nudge' button
I reckon they say who we gonna wind up today
Yep. In the days of Green Shield stamps:
Customer: is this the right amount
Me: dunno, give em back I'll check
Me: You're right, there's a mistake, remove 4 stamps & return to customer
Didn't actually get punched, but it was close!

How would you buy "penny chews"
I worked in a petrol station for 3 years.
There is no nudge button or any 'trickery'.
Customers are just morons.
And just HOW do you drive off with a tyre inflator STILL attached to your tyre? That used to happen fortnightly and is why garages started switching to those rubbish machines that demanded 20p.
