Sainsbury's shoppers have been left fuming after the supermarket increased the prices of a particular service that nearly every driver uses at the petrol station.
The supermarket giant has recently increased the cost of its tyre pumping service by 20p, which will now see drivers using the service paying a total of 50p for five minutes.
It means that the supermarket is no longer offering drivers the cheapest prices for the service, as it used to charge just 30p for three minutes, reports The Manchester Evening News.
The price hike means that Sainsbury's has now joined Asda, Morrisons and Tesco who also offer 50p for the same service.
Infuriated shoppers have taken to Twitter to slam the supermarket for its "opportunistic" price hike amidst the soaring cost of living.
One person slammed: "The tyre pressure machine at @sainsburys Banbury went up from 30p to 50p. It has always been 30p. Now they hike it 66%. Same machine. Just a sticker over the price. OK, it’s a small thing. But there are so many opportunistic price rises happening now."
A second shopper responding to the Twitter thread agreed: "We’re getting well rinsed. I wouldn’t be surprised if the supermarkets start charging admission."
Sainsbury's said that the charge, which came into effect back in July, is in line with the wider marketplace and came as a response they received from customer feedback.
A spokesperson told The Mirror: "Back in July, we started offering customers five minutes rather than the previous offer of three minutes, with each minute remaining at 10p per minute.
"This is in line with the wider market offering and based on customer feedback."
