Default Please help settle this argument

I know this sounds a bit stupid and petty but I am having a debate with the mrs and she swears she is right on this and I am sure she is wrong.

The argument is: When you go to the supermarket, which has a petrol station, do you shop first and get petrol on the way out or get petrol on the way in and then do the shopping.

I would be very grateful if anyone could help clear this up. Cheers

You get petrol on the way out at the one I go to, as you have to drive past it on the way out, you do not drive past it on the way in, and will have to go out of your way to fill up first

I'd try and get petrol before shopping, that way you don't have your frozen food going off while you're in the queue.

No it doesn't matter, it is just a bit of fun but i needed to shut her up with some strong evidence which this forum is providing.

Petrol first, then shopping at our one. Petrol station is on the way in. Depends on the layout surely?

Well Bencs, our local Tesco is a shop and forecourt all wrapped up in one parcel. So we DO have a quandry. Do we leave the car sitting at the pump whilst we do our shopping ? Or, do we pay up for the juice then move the car to a bay and re-enter the shop and then do the shopping ? Quite an conundrum.

at sainsbury's in frome you can either get it in the way in or out personally i would get it on the way out just easier and saves you wasting it trying to park and you can get a discount after you have been shopping

what on earth are you doing at the supermarket, thats the wifes job

but if you must fill up with petrol at the supermarket then you go fill up while the missus is doing the shopping. works for me
