Default Far out, can I just pay for my fuel?

Had an interesting one today, went to the local BP (near the showgrounds for any Wagga people), filled up and walked in to pay for my fuel, did so and went to walk back out again. Got to the door, 2 steps away from freedom I'm bailed up by a guy with an Indian accent so thick I honestly couldnt understand what he was saying.

What did he want? To sign me up for some BP Mastercard! Couldnt understand a word he was saying, he started hassling me for ID to fill in some application form and then wouldnt back off when I said no. I got a bit archy and was just about tell him where to shove his clipboard when he shut up and let me walk out the door.

Now fair enough everybody has their job to do but I got really annoyed by this - full on harrassment, the guy was trying to bully me into filling out the damn form! Standing at the door waiting for people to walk in doesnt exactly make me want to talk to you either. I'm not happy about it and won't be going back there for a while. I'm also tempted to write the servo owners a letter telling them just what I think of their trapdoor tactics.

And btw, BP Ultimate was 140.9 at this particular servo - down the road at Caltex, Vortex98 = 135.9. Guess where I'll be going from now on.
