>americans have to pay first before they're allowed to start pumping fuel into their tanks at the fuel station
do they really

just shows how low trust of a society it is.

why how does it work in poland?
here you swipe your credit card and it pays after you pumped

>>212735178
you pump and then pay for the amount you pumped

>>212734560 (OP)
it used to work like it does here, but a bunch of people started to fill their tanks and drive off without paying, which is why they changed their policy into pay now fuel later.

This. It might be better further inland, but on the coast you'd never find a station where you pay after pumping.

>>212734560 (OP)
You have to pay first if you pay by card here, if you pay in the shop you can fill and then go pay in the shop

>>212735580
do you swipe before or after pumping?

>>212735580
That's literally how it works here.

>>212735727
if you pay at the dispenser you pay before, if you pay in the shop you pay after
basically like >>212735713

>>212735727
after it’s like that in most of europe

Nope. I live in the Midwest and even in the absolute nicest safest places if you want to pay inside you have to go in and pay the cashier first before the pump will have your amount put on it
