yea but the panties folded like a rose are tempting as h.ellthat is true because it sucks to have to go in and pre-pay. In my travels half the gas stations require you to go inside to pre-pay/give them your card or whatever then go back outside and fill up. I will also say that if i want something inside...I will go inside whether I pre-pay or not. Cards accepted at the pumps do not make me buy less.
I don't do any impulse buying at a gas station. I don't need a cardboard air freshener on my sled

True. Valentine's day is coming soon!
Pay at the pump?
They’re finding so many card skimmers at gas pumps these days that it’s now recommended that you go inside to pay. It’s much less likely to encounter a skimmer inside.
Some of the skimmers are hard to detect, and they’re getting quite clever. The latest is Bluetooth skimmers — the perps hang around nearby and collect your card info on their smartphone instantly, without being seen near the pump!
With all the video surveillance these days, how in blazes do they get a chance to install such a device without being seen/recorded on a security cam?

You're right frnash. We don't have pay at the pumps here but we're really only a gas station in the winter time. We put it in because we needed it with our remote spot and for all our product. Pay at the pumps for two pumps would've cost us $40,000. They aren't cheap but what it is!
This is why I use my fleet card for fuel purchases. It's not good for anything else and I have an 80 year old whipcracker that follows it like a hawk. I pity the fool that tries to scam that fleet card LOL

I travel a ton for work and will say the upper Midwest is the only place I can think of that you don't either swipe your card or prepay. Usually I would rather go inside, but seldom an option.
