Australian pumps all have the capability to pay at the pump.

It's almost always restricted to fleet buyers (taxis, delivery vans, etc). If you're a regular consumer they force you walk past a tasty array of chocolates and other addictive high margin products before you're allowed to pay. They even give you a a couple bucks off your gas if you spend ten bucks on chocolate.

Sold! Lol, I'm just that into chocolate.

I'm sure I've seen ads at the pump to pay with apps though?
