What do you want?&#8217; &#8211; and then she came out and was being really aggressive and shouty.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nChelsie observed that the forecourt was &#8220;packed&#8221;, as she was warned for using her phone at the petrol station.<BR><br \/>\nShe said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know about you, but I pay with Apple Pay and my [Tesco] Clubcard is on my phone. So I get my phone out and put fuel in my car in the same way that I would get my purse out and stand there and put the fuel in the car.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nChelsie was told she couldn&#8217;t use her phone on the forecourt and that she needed to leave the smartphone in her car.<BR><br \/>\nHowever, she didn&#8217;t agree with the rule at all.<BR><br \/>\nShe said: &#8220;Am I wrong in thinking that this rule is so outdated? Okay, don&#8217;t stand there on the phone while you are putting fuel in &#8230; but f*** me, even my parents pay on their phones!&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nChelsie observed that the cashier was &#8220;either in a bad mood or on a f****** power-trip&#8221;.<BR><br \/>\nShe explained: &#8220;She was so rude. I&#8217;m just really, really cross and actually, I would have driven off &#8211; but I really needed the fuel.<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;Everyone was looking at me and I felt really embarrassed. But I also felt like, &#8216;You&#8217;re wrong here&#8217;.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nDespite this, Chelsie was subsequently informed that she was in the wrong, rather than the cashier.<BR><br \/>\nOne of her followers explained: &#8220;I used to manage a petrol station. The no mobile phone rule is not about risk of ignition, but more around distraction. <BR><br \/>\n&#8220;When fuelling you need to be concentrating on fuelling and not risk being distracted by your phone as this can lead to spillages, both small or significant.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Visit Bang Bizarre (main website) <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><script src=\"https:\/\/geo.dailymotion.com\/player\/xtbac.js\" data-video=\"\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2026-05-12 17:42:15 A woman took to social media to complain about a Tesco cashier &#8211; only to be informed she was in the wrong.
