Grant De Patie, 24 yo, was working at a gas station in '05 when a teenager tried to get away without paying for $12 in gas. The teen dragged Grant under his car for about 5 miles and killed him. It took years but after pressure led by his father, eventually a law called Grant's law was brought in requiring prepayment.
BC is pay in advance. Everywhere. Nuisance but that is the law. Stops drive offs. Send the DW inside with the card
Just to clarify on prepay, you don't have to go inside if you have a valid chip CC. Gas stations here have the same CC pay system at the pumps as in the US. Works basically the same as in WA & OR and I think most other western states that have prepayment. What's annoying in the US is that some gas companies give you a discount for cash and some give you a discount for CC. What's nice about CCs in the US now is that finally (after decades behind us), CCs have chips & PINs. Used to be that some gas stations made you leave a CC inside while you pumped your gas (absurd!). What I really hate in the US is stations that cut you off at $75 when you're trying to fill up a thirsty truck. :M
