Picture the scene. I'm alone, dealing with a huge queue, and while I'm doing this, a man walks up to a pump and picks it up. I can't see what he's doing so I don't authorise it. I mention this to the customer I'm currently serving, and the one behind him says, "That guy's trying to fill a plastic milk bottle."
A plastic milk bottle?! For those not in the know, a milk bottle does not feature in the short list of containers that you're allowed to fill with fuel. I continue to not authorise the pump, hoping that the man will come inside to find out why so that I can inform him of this. Instead, he goes to another pump.
I now can clearly see that he has a six pint empty milk bottle which he's attempting to fill; again, I don't authorise the pump. There's really no excuse for this level of idiocy; even if you were unaware, there's a sign on every single pump that tells you what containers you're allowed to fill with fuel. You can also buy a jerry in the kiosk.
I call my collegue, who at the time is conferring with the security guard; he goes outside and tells the brainless customer to come in and get a jerry. The customer refuses on the grounds that they're too expensive; they're a fiver, which isn't that much to pay, and seeing as you're not going to get any fuel til you buy one... Anyway, the man says he's going elsewhere. Good luck on finding a petrol station that allows you to fill a milk bottle, moron.
