Why it's Morrisons Garage for me!



STRESS FREE FILL-UP!


I’m lucky in that I have a Morrisons petrol station near me in Stamford, and they look after me very well indeed! Morrisons has a policy of always having at least two staff on duty at any time, so there’s always someone on hand to fill up for me. All I have to do is make sure I get onto a pump close to the service window so that they can see my badge when I wave it. Although it’s nearly always busy, I never have to wait long. The staff are all very helpful in that they always check my oil and water as well, without asking. They’ll check my tyres too and fill them if they need air.

If I want to use the car wash, someone will come with me and enter the code into the machine, because of my brace I’m unable to lean out myself to press the buttons, and they’ll stay with me until the wash is finished just to be sure I’m okay.


With regards to paying: they still offer swiping which is a real bonus as they process the card and bring it out for me to sign, but they don’t take cheques anymore. The Morrisons card is worth having too, you get a £5.00 voucher after getting 5,000 points, which accrue with every litre you buy. Gary, the lovely station manager at Stamford says all Morrisons staff are trained to recognise the special needs of all disabled people, in the store as well as the garage. That may be so, but he and his petrol station staff certainly are a credit to the company, my hat is off to them!!
