I work part time in a garage on nights, i'll use my discretion wether or not to ask for pre-pay. I'm lucky that most customers are regular.
If they want to pay by card and i ask for the card it is always kept on view of the camera and not touched till the person is their watching, shame most independent garages are tarred with the same brush for card cloning.
If the customer ain't happy then their is a HSBC machine at the end of the garage they can use so they can pay by cash.
When the chip and pin came into garages my Uncle filled up his car in Hunts Cross, when asked how he was paying he said by card, the person behind the counter asked for his card. He then asked for his pin
To which my uncle said no chance, the garage had the chip and pin machine bolted to the wall incase someone robbed it
