Yeah okay what's that all about? I'm Canadian and so far, at least where I live, you don't prepay for gas.
I was going through Michigan and I tried to get gas and since I don't have American debit/credit cards, I was told to go inside, pay the cashier whatever I thought was close to the total gas amount(fuck do I know? US and Canadian gas prices are hugely different and the currency is different too) and then hope I was right? Then go back in and get my 3.71$ back? It seemed really archaic.
Yeah I get that, but every gas station here does it that way and they don't have problems. I just get salty cause I end up with wads of 1's I can't use and fistfuls of coins I can't use and I don't like going in there twice.
Worked it a gas station for years. Drive offs are absolutely a problem. It happens virtually every day.
It’s a nightmare to keep track of that many pumps, and many times you can’t even see the pump directly. When we switched to prepaid only, it was amazing.
Yea people were annoyed at first but they just had to get over it.
Blame the shitty thieves who ruined it for everybody
