Posted: 03:24 - 01 Sep 2018 Post subject: How to fill with petrol using app when on a bike? |
|
|
I heard a voice today. Really strong one on the petrol station.
I was using my BPme app to unlock the petrol pump and pay for my fuel.
Then I heard a strong voice: "Oi the guy on pump 4 please don't use mobile phone when on the pump!"
How the actual foc is supposed correctly to use apps to pay for your petrol?
I mean the app is provided by the petrol station vendor BP. It detects via GPS the location of the petrol station and asks you to enter the pump number. Then unlocks the pump so that you can fill. After you finish it makes an automated payment. You get on your bike and off you go. No need to go inside or fiddle with cards or cash.
The question I have is how it is suppsed to use your mobile phone and the said app if they don't allow you to use it on the petrol station??
Seriously how? ____________________ Adrian Monk: Unless I'm wrong, which, you know, I'm not...

Bikers aren't, you're supposed to do it while sat in your car.
Discrimination of the highest order, I think we need a petition or a riot or something.
Personally I just try and use stations with pay at pump unless I'm really stuck. |

I question the need to over complicate dispensing pre measured liquid into a properly constructed container and
performing a one touch transaction with a payment card. Is there an app for buying a fucking pint? It's exactly the same
transaction. And yet still people queue at the bar in pubs up and down the land like the sad techless losers they are. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

That's funny I just checked my app called "Scuzzy chain pubs I wouldn't be seen dead in" and there was
Wetherspoons right at the top of the list. Pubs are supposed to have character, not apps. 0/10 for pub appeal,
but 10/10 at least for getting behind Brexit. My favourite pubs landlady keeps me back some leftover meats
from their Sunday dinner custom and hands it to me on a Monday all wrapped up for my dog. A big bag of bits of
pork and beef usually. The dog is as welcome and as well known in there as I am, ALL of the staff have absolutely fallen
in love with my Gracie. Plus I know I could walk in there with not a penny in my pocket and they would gladly
feed me and water me on just the promise of payment. Proper boozer. Local pubs for Local people Val, Geddit? ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I cannot see anywhere in the regulations mobile phones being prohibited, it's just a policy that petrol stations have I think.
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1637/made
Probably at some point in the past, equipment could theoretically interfere with pumps, and result in the customer not paying enough, rather than any safety element.
Seems to be a silly situation ban phone on pumps and have an app on phones to pay at pump. |

Them funny foreigners don't understand pubs mate. They do the sitting on the pavement inhaling all that good old car exhaust fumes and call it cafe culture. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

In the same way CB radio was banned from forecourts by the stations and not by the law.... |

On the basis that some petrol station people get unhappy about riders not removing lids and not getting off bikes, it is understandable why some staff will get very unhappy if you're using your smartphone as well. |
