My mate told me ( Ah em) at Costa self service machines, fill a large cup up, get a regular size cup and tip the contents of the large one in to the small one, to beef it up a bit, chuck a few espressos in the regular cup but just pay for the regular size, there’s not much difference with a large or regular anyway.
Bear in mind the cctv above the machine but the armed unit of the police have not banged in his back door at 5 am yet.
Nothing worse than a rear door entry at 5 am , think of the insurance paperwork to sort it out.
I dont drink espresso, but Yep, it’s common knowledge about the Costa ‘‘big cup contents go in the smalller cup’’ thing for a cheaper coffee…but I’m more ■■■■■■■■, …(and greedy ■■■■,) I prefer them free.
So short of walking out without paying (which even I wouldn’t do) .I’m still looking for a Gregg’s alternative who have now scapped the loyalty cards.
No luck so far finding a ‘corruptible’ contact from WBC, Starbucks, or Caffe Nero. …
.my PM box is always open.

That was definitely a whoosh moment for WBC, the clue was there,it must be the stress of my parrot who had a severe form of Tourette’s,that flew out the cab window at Lincoln farm cafe.
He was called Jason the Mynha bird even though he is a parrot so has a personality complex order.

Well they’ll no longer have my business. I usually fill between 500 to 1000 litres per week at Moto services, but no longer. I appreciate that my 500-1000 litres won’t make much of a difference but just imagine if that was 500-1000 trucks doing the same……….
Exactly.
Truckstops for me from now,.and at least the pump.clips work at the likes of Poplars…why tf can they not maintain these things, if you are putting 300 liters in with the time it takes, it aint very comfortable holding that thing for that long.
I’ve tried the wedging something in it thing, and 2x in two months I’ve ended up having to change shirt and shorts after getting covered in [zb] diesel ,.so that part I wont miss.
Akso…Did I mention that Gregg’s are also stopping their free coffee loyalty cards at end of this month also?
That is a severe blow…I
Im looking for a corruptible candidate for bribery who works at Wild Bean Cafe presently if you know of one. (finders fee on offer of a pint of Budweiser claimable… obvs. )
With having a tail lift I use my anderson lead to keep the diesel pumping , works a treat
Seeing as I used to fill up almost exclusively at Moto (owt for nowt!), can anyone tell us of similar loyalty/bonus schemes offered by any of the other MSA chains or for Keyfuels/UK Fuels cards please?
With Greggs, seems to be a common theme, the loyalty card is normally only used on MOTO’s BP forecourt as the phone App is not used on the forecourt as MOTO don’t have the correct tills, only in the shops, so MOTO are no longer doing the Greggs rewards or the fuel vouchers

Yeah I know exactly what you mean about a freebie, we have BP fuel cards so are little bit restricted as to getting fuel so from now on I’ll be trying to fuel at non Moto stations
,.so that part I wont miss.
