Tesco, don't shut down the 24 hour Petrol Station and Shop
Please keep the Fuel Station and the shop manned and opened 24 hours as it is. The 100% pay at pump only system is not suitable for all members of the community and the shop provides convenience to customers out of hours.
Why is this important?
With fuel and food prices hitting the roof , not all customers can afford to buy in bulk and need to make small manageable purchases on a frequent basis.
The shop provided the conveniences for the section of the community who are not in position to buy bulk so the around the clock opening meant they could "buy on need basis." Small items on a frequent basis in line with the income.
The loss of 24 hours opening will result in a serious squeeze on peoples budgets as they will now have a shortened window to purchase necessary items which will lead to deprivation.
Families on low income will also suffer intensifying child poverty in the community.
Turning the fuel station into "pay on pumps only" will also exclude people who either don't have a bank card ,have insufficient funds leading to being overdrawn and into unnecessary debt and those folks who are not IT literate or have the confidence to use the keypads/technology.
The loss of jobs and reduced hours of work by the Tesco employees will also exacerbate the unemployment and poverty in the community.
The lack of personal touch will also go against Tesco's ethos of being visible in the community and customer care/service.
I hope you will seriously consider this matter empathically.
