OK. So how long did she not have access to the £99 (or £94) after completing her £5 transaction at the pump?1 - shopping at Asda

She's been mentioned by me on this thread before, a local she-beast, Tanya.
Fat noisy useless 'disability' benefit cheat waste of space who lives a few roads down from me. Everyone local is sick of the sight (and sound) of her.
Over the local shop yesterday, chatting to the owner. A lovely guy, who's opened 3 businesses on the main street. He's been accommodating to said she-beast over the last few years. He even offered her a job at his takeaway, presumably A) to stop her being an eyesore hanging around B) to better her luck.
He told me yesterday that she's been banned from entering all of his businesses. He caught her with 10 cans of Lynx deodorant stuffed in her coat. Later I saw the local plod in his car having a word with her, and her gobbing off 'I tell ya, I don't give a s
t!'
The workhouse's would be too good for this blight on society.

I have to visit a place on a council estate as part of my work.
The other day was hot and I spied Council gold - a front garden turned into and inflatable version of Alton Towers with idle adults drinking from cans while watching the offspring play.
Fair enough, their estate and their ghetto rules.
The Gold came as I drove past an address with two police cars outside. Several of the officers were wearing baseball caps blue flak jackets and toting H & K G36 (?) guns. Clearly a neighborhood police 'courtesy call.'
The thing is, none of the locals who were wandering around batted an eyelid. An armed police operation being as normal as the postie on his rounds.
I did feel a little vulnerable in my non Vauxhall Motability car, but I figured that if an X5 full of armed bds didn't bother anyone then I was probably safe.

Earmarking is fine, it's just that a lot of companies are very slow to return the money. It caught me out in my poorer younger days when I stayed at a hotel, and had a £300 earmark put on the account, which took TEN DAYS to return to me. Can totally see how it can affect some people who aren't in the same tax bracket as most PH Directors

I remember being young and broke and putting £3 of fuel in my SJ410 back in the day, if they do implement 5is hold (it’s just a trial at the moment) I think there will be a lot of stories like these for people who only poodle around the doors topping up 5/10/20 at a time

Only difference I can see is that the kiosk would normally initiate the pump but there's not exactly much of a vetting process going on is there?

I'm not sure I see the point of this. How is a self service pump much different to a kiosk where you don't have to do a hold payment before you start? Reg number is still presumably monitored so risk doesn't seem much different.

Probably bounced payments that banks reflect back to Asda and they then have to chase via whatever means this takes (clueless here)Only difference I can see is that the kiosk would normally initiate the pump but there's not exactly much of a vetting process going on is there?

For a business the size of ASDA, bounced payments aren't chased as they'll lose more by chasing it than they'd recover. Which is why they do pre-authorisations. bristolracer said:
I have never seen any notice,informing customers that this is how it works.
For me its not an issue, but you can see it may cause someone grief (last day before payday,direct debits before weekends etc)
I'm pretty well off compared to most (but my car is leased which makes me a pauper and I shouldn't really have a car at all. I should know my place).For me its not an issue, but you can see it may cause someone grief (last day before payday,direct debits before weekends etc)
But I probably fill up my car around4 or five times a month, my motorbike over summer probably more. Then there's Mrs DS and her myriad £5 fill ups as she is always too rushed to fill up. Then there is her motorbike. We buy almost all our fuel at Asda.
You work out just how much I could end up with being ringfenced from my account. Unlike all of the rest of PH I don't have 20K in cash in my current account.
I have no objection to this as a concept, it makes good sense, hit the card for £99 before dispensing, but the remainder should be put back INSTANTLY.

Must admit I didn't know about this pre-auth charge. I do use Sainsburys self pay. Assume they're different as I've never noticed anything on my accounts.
