I'm going to suggest that this is made up, purely because Tesco do in fact do cashback.

Our local superstore Tesco doesn't! Asda does though, even on the self scan do-dahs.

Maybe she was being a super bitch?
In fact, the self service bits also do cashback, so I was a fool for joining the queue in the first place.

I feel I should defend myself only on the basis that your implication is that this story is the limit to my imagination. If I was making it up it would be better than this.

I would've shagged the lady behind the counter at least.

The one near me does not give cashback.
Though that is also a petrol station so i think they are still an Esso just with Tesco branding. They do have a cashpoint however but they do charge for air. The bastards.

Is the cashpoint one of those ones that charges a fee for withdrawals?
Would explain things.

Tesco Express..
... in our town does not do cashback, but has a (free of charge) cash machine on the outside instead. All cashback requests are referred to the ATM.
