Comment on Self-pay gas station pumps break across NZ as software can't handle Leap Dayparent

Comments

Many fuel stations here in NZ have switched to pay first then fill for cash payments. Most stations I go to have signs saying 'Please go inside to pay first' or words to that effect on the pumps. However many chains have introduced self-payment card terminals, payments via app, etc so it's not a hassle if you can use these other options.

Many say this, but not once have I ever had to do it. Lift the pump and wait for the attendant to approve. Then pay after.

That's a new one since I last visited, but I guess it has been a few years
