If your main concern is the halving of the points on fuel (ie 1 point for £2 spent instead of 1 point per £1 spent) then go to MORRISONS instead.

Why is that? Do they have some type of loyality scheme if paying with a Tesco credit card?
Must say Tesco by us is pretty good. I use the supermarket fuels for the works vans but only Shell for my own cars, no way would I use supermarket fuel.
Apparently its all the same I know but I stick to Shell optimax and I get airmiles too!

If somebody uses any service, just for their loyalty scheme, and don't like the service, then don't be loyal, and use a different service, most fuel suppliers have a loyalty sceme of one type or another.
As a person that used to service the tills/backoffice equipment in petrol stations, including the pump controllers, I'm always aware of any faults.
I find mainly Tesco have new equipment, with teething trouble due to pay at pump, that isn't properly explained,
Shell, due to the expanding shops, have excessive queues,
I think all the others, due to lack of experience, seem OK, I like petrol stations that have fill, then drive to kiosk, IF enough staff are employed to service demand, otherwise can become very annoying. DON'T like pay at pump.

I think that the use of the superfluous or possessive "s" is an acceptable trait of English.
It denotes that the company Tesco are owners of the shop referred to & so is arguably a "double possessive" whereby the apostrophe may be inserted wherever ( no rude suggestions here please).
So if you were known as Ron & owned a shop it would be acceptable for people to refer to it as "Ron's" or if more than one Ron were involved then possibly "Rons'".
There is also an argument that that which is colloquially accepted, particularly aiding the natural flow of a language, then becomes the language.
Basically it seems easier to say I'm goin to Tesco's than Tesco.

I am going to John house tomorrow
Yorkshire fuel: Who are you? Fred Dibnah with a coal fired steam engine?
If it's that bad, why do you keep going back?
Are you:
A; waiting for the dust to settle
B; still there because you have always done it this way
C; feeling compelled to go there because your mommy told you so?
D; a masochist.
If the answer is: D, I can help you. If it is A, B, or C, there is nothing I can do for you.
