Absolutely. Just like the number of manned check-outs, bank branches and such closing the petrol forecourt will change. With a fill-up over £50 then it makes sense for a larger overpayment. The problem is the banking system.
In Holland the transactions are near instantaneous and rarely over a couple of hours. The conservative UK banking system will take two days and not be embarresed over it. The point is that the forecourt association would prefer all pumps are "pay by card" with a ransom (free money) attached to the transaction. Ask Tesco for interest payment
