What they do is a card switch. They switch a previously used card for one on the rack (or the cashier does it using one of THEIR used cards which seems more likely in this case). "Skimming" or copying the codes on a gasoline gift card card would do no good at a pump or in the station's store as they won't take codes from Gas gift cards (or probably any other) for purchases.
