California hasn't had pump-then-pay for probably 25 years. If you don't have a credit card for the pump reader, you get the added joy of standing in line while the clerk figures out the lottery tickets for the clown in front of you.

Then, of course, you get to do it all over again to get your change.

I was back in CA on vacation a couple years back and some of the stations had a pay cash at the pump device. You feed paper money into it like you would a change machine. It took bills up to $20, but you'd have to go inside for your change.
