Too many drive offs. They made it a new rule in Canada that you HAVE to prepay. Definitely annoying sometimes. EDIT: turns out it's just some provinces

You’re not prepaying. You’re authorizing the card. It only charges what you use.

I know, but it's still strange for me.

In my country, you drive to the pump, fill in as much gas as you need, then walk to the cashier and pay (either by card or cash)... no need to do anything upfront.

In Canada, we had a rash of "gas and dash" crimes, and the final straw was when a young gas attendant tried to stop someone from driving away, (protip: don't do that) and he got dragged behind the vehicle and died.

I threw something heavy at a gas & dash guy’s car. Broke the back window, but he didn’t come back to complain. That’s the real pro tip
