Times must be hard if you have to raid the piggy bank again, especially when fuel prices are still extortionate. Legal tender is a legal way to pay for outstanding debts. Once you pay for your goods, the goods are yours. If you pick your items off the supermarket shelf and put them in your basket before taking it to the till and paying for them, there will always be an opportunity to refuse acceptance of certain denominations of legal tender, then the goods will end up back on the shelf because your legal tender denomination has been refused as offer of payment.
£50 notes have been a classic example were shops or petrol stations don't accept them for purchasing goods, but this is normally complimented by a sign at the till or at the fuel pump. There was a description of card types to be used, but no information regarding any type of legal tender.
The only difference between a shop counter and a petrol station forecourt, is that you dispense your fuel into your vehicle and then a contract is formed. At this point of dispension of fuel, the fuel is then inside your property. It is then your personal responsibility to pay before driving away from the petrol station.
Although the commemorative coins are INTENDED for collection and not circulation, the emphasis is on the word INTENDED meaning it's only an intention, not an exception for use!
By offering to pay for fuel with legal tender, the offer of payment must be either accepted or rejected by the petrol station cashier before you can legally and lawfully drive away. In this case, no act of parliament was broken which left BANAMAN with no other choice but to drive away with or without the £20 and 5p coin as given and offered at the time. The petrol station cashiers could pay for their own electricity, or fuel delivery invoice with the legal tender £20 coin so they always had the option to pay for their own fuel and pass it on in the same way as BANAMAN tried to do.
This video also includes an urban myth buster regarding fuel expansion and value for money when you purchase fuel in hot or cold weather... But all in all, this was never a police matter. But because the cashier insisted on calling the police, BANAMAN thought it would be reasonable to flag down the nearest police officer in order to help the petrol station waist as minimal time to the police in this matter any further than their intention at the time. The banks are part of the problem and they all contribute as part of the BIGGER Picture...!
Thanks to ‪@julianchamberlain5399‬ for inspiring myself and others to highlight that legal tender is legal tender and that people, shops and businesses, should not discriminate against any form of legal tender!
Location; Morrisons petrol station in Brampton near Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
