Re: pay at the pump
just wash your hands over with some petrol/diesel - that'll kill the virus off!

Re: pay at the pump
I have been using cash at an Esso station, they don't make you remove your helmet but don't have contactless payment. My local Tesco requests you remove your helmet (from what I've read) but I only have ever used them for filling up my car. I was thinking of using PaP at Tesco - I have silk inner gloves - so remove outer glove and continue wearing inner glove before handling pump/keypad.
When I was a kid I thought the idea of having an adventure would be exciting, turns out that it isn't.

Re: pay at the pump
there is only one petrol station I know that makes you remove your helmet before filling up even! Solstice Services on the A303. I avoid filing up there due to that policy; they don't make people remove their hats, scarfs, sunglasses etc before filling up.....

Re: pay at the pump
I was told to close my boot lid yesterday before the assistant would turn the pump on. I had retrieved the jerry can if you were wondering. As I had to go in to pay I asked asked why was I told to do so and the very polite lady said it obstructed her view of what was going on at the pump behind. As it is the only town centre filling station, and the cheapest unless you go two miles to Asda, they get some right scrotes in there. Fair enough.
Have never been asked to remove my lid though, there or anywhere else, so I think I've been lucky.

The virus can live for a period of time on your hand, but also on surfaces, hard longer than soft. Touching the pump with your inner glove may transfer the virus to it, which isn't a problem providing you take the inner glove off before touching your face. As it's almost impossible to take the second inner glove off without touching the outside of it with your other uncovered hand you need to remember to wash your hands immediately you take them off. Remember your card is still dirty, think about that next time you get it out of your wallet. The safest way to do PAP is to remove your motorcycle glove and put on a disposable glove such as the ones they provide for diesel filling. Have an alcohol based sanitiser wipe ready to wipe you card when you remove it (and you could do the keypad as well if your feeling public spirited). Put your card away before picking up the pump handle. When you have finished peel the glove off turning it inside out and dropping it into the bin. |

I've been wiping every door handle, lift button and key fob we use. I realise people have been utter bams and bought all the wipes, leaving most with none (my wife got us a single pack from her dentist office where she works) but I think everyone's got a social responsibility to do this. It'll help massively.

Re: pay at the pump
I used my usual Esso station on Monday and they had introduced disposable gloves at each pump for fuel delivery, which is good but it leaves the problem of using the touchpad since they don't have contactless. What we need is a spray so we can see the virus

Re: pay at the pump
If you have disposable gloves, why would a touchpad be an issue?
