I have a 20lt metal jerrycan that I use to store mower petrol. I fill it up at the local garage and have done for the last 30 years with no issues.

I have just remembered an incident about 20 years ago. I went to the regular garage one evening to fill the jerrycan. Got said can out the car and went to fill it. A loud announcement over the tannoy NO CANS. I went into the kiosk and asked the butch looking woman behind the till why I couldn't fill the can. She said , 'we have too many driveoffs'. I explained I was a long standing regular customer and had no intention of driving off. She gave me a withering look and said they didn't need customers like me. I promptly told her I didn't need to be one of their customers. Put the can back in the car drove round the corner to another outlet and filled up without a problem. Needless to say, I have never set foot on that forecourt since.
