Weird. I don’t know of anywhere around here that doesn’t require either pre-payment or a swipe of a credit card before putting in the gas.
I think it’s raciss to have to identify yourself to a gas pump with a credit card.
The WalMarts (Murphy) here do it at the first couple of lanes next to the pay station. Outside that, it’s cash or credit/debit card. They fill and run all the time. They post really bad pics of the perps and their cars for customers to see. Apparently they use really cheap cams
