newjez Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Seriously! This has yet to make it to Perth? Constantly seeing people buying petrol and then dragging the children accross the forecourt to pay for it. Not allowed to leave them in the car, as they might cook. Fair enough. There could be a queue. But why not install pay at pump, so the problem is solved. Someone please tell me they have at least started installing pay at pump. It's been in the UK for years!

Guest Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Fair point, really bugs me too! Though as I'm always tricked into buying a drink/snack etc I can see why they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjg Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Signed up for the new costco in moorabbin yesterday. Pay at pump is the only option, 10c/L cheaper too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Well we've got it in Adelaide and that's about 20 years behind the rest of the developed world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Most people don't like it. It is a cultural thing I think. Some places enforce it at night to avoid drive offs but not that many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibbs Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'm in Perth, and quite often have to pay in store as the machine wont scan my discount card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 And the stores really want you to come inside so you are tempted to buy a chocolate bar and other stuff too. They don't make much money just out of selling you petrol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petkula73 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 . It's been in the UK for years! Yes, but only for 50% of the population. A sight you'll never see is a woman paying at the pump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A discount card for Bungs shouldn't work in a petrol station though, and you know that:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramac Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Yes, but only for 50% of the population. A sight you'll never see is a woman paying at the pump! Why not? I use them. I hate standing in queues when I can just pay and leave. There is a growing number of places here where there's no choice now anyway - there are just pumps, no shop or staff. Plenty of women using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been here for years too newjez but I've never seen anyone use it yet. I think WA people are only just getting used to having to put petrol in yourself and not having someone rush out fill your tank, wipe your windows, rush back to the till and smile all friendly like. I think most people would risk leaving their kids in the car while they nip in to pay for petrol and pass the time of day and get a bit of service. It's not rush rush rush here.:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronwen Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yes, but only for 50% of the population. A sight you'll never see is a woman paying at the pump! I (am a woman and) pay at the pump all the time! They're still not at ALL petrol stations in the UK but I definitely prefer them to having to go into the shop and stand in a queue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
