In this video, a man attempts to pay for petrol with a ยฃ20 coin at a Tesco petrol station. The manager of the petrol station initially refuses to accept the coin, claiming that it is not legal tender. The man argues that it is legal tender and shows evidence from the Royal Mint website. The manager eventually relents and accepts the payment.
However, the situation escalates when the man requests a receipt for his payment. The manager refuses to provide a receipt and demands the man’s contact details instead. The man argues that this is against the law and threatens to report the petrol station to HMRC.
The situation becomes even more heated when the man films the encounter and the manager demands that he delete the footage. The man refuses to delete the footage and continues to argue with the manager. Eventually, the man is able to get a receipt for his payment and leaves the petrol station.
Overall, the video highlights the issues that can arise when attempting to use uncommon forms of payment, as well as the importance of understanding one’s legal rights when making purchases. It also underscores the potential for conflict between customers and businesses, particularly when both parties feel strongly about their positions.
