Sainsbury's has been criticised by shoppers for increasing the minimum cost of pumping up tyres at its petrol stations.
Previously the cheapest supermarket for drivers to pump up their tyres, costing 30p for three minutes, Sainsbury's has now hiked its price to 50p to match the likes of Asda, Tesco and Morrisons. Although drivers are still paying the same 10p per minute, they must now spend a minimum amount of 50p for five minutes compared to the previous three.
It may only be an extra 20p, but Sainsbury's shoppers are not happy about the change given the rising cost of living elsewhere. As customers took to social media to voice their frustration with the price increase, the new cost was branded a "robbery" as drivers accused the supermarket of being "opportunistic".
