Sainsbury's customers are having to fork out extra cash to use one of the supermarket giant's popular services. A new 50p charge has been introduced for people who want to pump their tyres up at a Sainsbury's petrol station.
The new price brings the retailer in line with competitors including ASDA, Tesco and Morrisons, who were already charging 50p for the service. The previous cost at Sainsbury's was 30p for three minutes and, although the new 50p for five minutes charge means that drivers are still paying 10p a minute, it means an increase in the minimum amount they have to spend.
A spokesperson from Sainsbury's told The Mirror: "Back in July, we started offering customers five minutes rather than the previous offer of three minutes, with each minute remaining at 10p per minute. This is in line with the wider market offering and based on customer feedback."
