In my area there or only 2 places left where you can pump and pay.The cause of the pay then pump is all those honest people that pump and drive off.

Several places here in small towns still have a person come out and fill for yah. So, then you go in and pay. I only put in 20$ worth at a time don't want to die with a fortune in gas in the tank.

Was through ND some years back no station open but a call number if you needed gas. I called a very kind older gentleman came up and filled the tank. You don't see that often either, great people in the high plains area and across the mid-section and west still.

I just swipe a card. Saves money by not going inside and falling for some impulse item or another. I almost never go inside.

Counted on purchasing gas at a location that was always open. Drove through the town about 11pm and the business was closed. I went to the police station and asked if I could sleep in the jail until the next morning. They agreed. They called the station owner and he opened for me. It was Christmas Eve and I was young and foolish. This was about 1968.

I've had countless calls from credit card companies wanting me to use their company at my business.

No dice! They wanted and this was the lowest...4%. I told them to take a hike unless it was 0 for me because they should and probably do make their money from the borrowers.


Don't blame the business if they charge extra for card purchases, its money out of their pocket.

I don't mind using a card. We buy script cards say about 3-500 dollars worth at a time and use those at our local Kwik Trip stations or when we travel. Our church gets 3-4% of the trade amount. We drive quite a bit and will buy about 1500 to 2500 gallons of gas per year.
