Short rant here -- Like others have suggested, I usually wait to get an end pump as it just make getting in and out a little easier. I especially like the inconsiderate SOB's that fill-up then go inside and do 15 minutes of shopping or order a meal while leaving their car at the pump. Sometimes I "ask" them to please be a little more considerate in the future, and most times I just get a blank stare. It's getting to where I'm not surprised any more by people's actions. Short rant over.....
I also use Google Earth when pre-planning a trip.
