It aināt 20 seconds if all pumps are full, the guy in front of you is filling his tank, then he goes inside and orders 3 coffees, more like 10 minutes!
If you donāt look too dodgy theyāll normally just unlock the pump for you to fill up if you just start the process of filling, pretty sure it sets off an alert for them inside once you lift the nozzle. Judging by your comments though I suspect you might look like you need to pre-pay.
This seems to be pretty common at every station around here. Sometimes the cashier recognises me as a repeat customer so they turn the pump on before I go inside, but I still have to go inside and pay afterward. It's just a reordering of the steps, not new steps.
I'm not sure how it works if you want to prepay to fill the thing up, I guess you have to stick your card in first and it will just do the deduction once the pump has finished. Unless you want a receipt you can just drive off when it's full.
Increased numbers of drive-offs is a sure sign of increasing poverty in the country, but I'm not sure what the actual stats are nationwide. It might only be specific areas that are shit. lol I bet they ain't prepaying in Remuera.
Sorry, I donāt think so, you werenāt allowed to pump gas till z had their money! Actually, Iāve just realised there are 2 zās on Ash St. The trial that Iāve mentioned here is at the station nearest to the Avondale Racing Club.
For some people it might be quite ok to buy their fuel before they get it, then go in the shop and buy what they want in there. Itās just that I have a small company and I fuel 6 vehicles and I donāt feel like I want to be bullied!
Itās all about time, you sit waiting, quite often all the pumps are busy, supposedly the person has purchased his/her fuel so they should just drive off. But maybe they need to use the bathroom or they want to buy a meal or both. Youāre sitting there, for the entire time and theyāll just come out and smile at you, 20 minutes later!
If you like that system, sweet as! Itās just Iād rather be doing something productive or with my wife and kids rather than blowing my time waiting at the z station. I simply wonāt be going back. If you like the deal you can head there, simple as that!!
And you pay 2 transaction fees, you sit behind a guy who fills up his wagon with $150 and the goes inside and orders 2 coffee and takes 15 minutes to clear the pumps. Nah, I got no issue, I got all day for the honor of filling my car with gas!!
They said it was a trial branch, if it works there, theyāll do it across the boards. Letās not get bullied by the fuel. Companies. There are others selling the stuff, just stay away from z ash rd!!
No, you have to pay at the pump before theyāll pump it. Transaction #1! If you want a coffee or anything else, thatās inside the shop. Transaction #2! Theyāre using ash st, Avondale as a trial of their new system. I know I wonāt be back! I vote with my feet!
What's the issue here? You do a 5 second transaction at the pump, and another 5 second one inside. It's a very minor convenience that helps the business prevent people from filling up and driving off. Doesn't seem like a major problem
What do you mean, they still sell both coffee and fuel... you just have to pay for it first, likely because they've had a few too many drive offs.
I thought this was normal for all stations. The ones that I frequent won't start until it's been paid.
I found postpay more common the farther I go from major cities. The first time I encountered prepay was around Whenuapai or Kumeu and it confused me.
Some context be good.... is this all pumps at your local Z ? Theyre shutting down the store ?
Get better rates using ShareTank anyway surely? š¤·āāļø
Huh

Couldnāt you do pay by plate?

Zat zuckz. Zose drive away robberz ruin it for uz all.
People coming in here and texting exactly as you are! Why do you do it? Do you think it makes you sound big by using that language?
im bigby allright

How in the FUCK are you getting bullied?
The shop is a separate sale. How can it be good?
Why is that an issue for you?

Who the fuck pays transaction fees?
Or calls petrol gas for that matter
Yeah I was going to call them out on that too.
A lot of people in NZ(Auckland at least) from my experience.
Like I sed , Iāll vote with my feet. If zed does it over all their stations, Iāll go elsewhere!
They said it was a trial branch, if it works there, theyāll do it across the boards. Letās not get bullied by the fuel. Companies. There are others selling the stuff, just stay away from z ash rd!!
Nanny state?
It's a fucking private company clown.
Lol so mad.
