Another problem is that most of the fillling stations are franchise 
operations, rather than the "full on" company. Depends if you can trust the 
staff. Why would someone with enough competence to defraud the chip n pin 
scheme be working for Tesco or its franchises? I mean fraud is one thing but 
workin at tesco to do it is quite another.
