Paying with cash really can slow down the process.

As long as you don't mind going inside and standing in a long line and never being able to prepay a "fill-up".

However, when the station is busy, it is a bit aggravating for the next customer who has to wait for the cash payer to stand in line (often after doing some shopping) and then continuing to wait during the eventual pumping process.

The retailer should allow the "cash" discount but encourage the cash payer to use a card at the pump as a "hold or deposit". Then after pumping, the cash payer could move the car and go inside to pay cash. Something like this would be more efficient and consumer friendly.

I see your point. That's why my better half goes in to pay. I pump.
If she is going to shop, she pays for gas first. I pump, then move the car.
It's also aggravating when someone uses a card to pump, finishes, then goes inside to shop and leaves the car.
Oh well, life is to short to let the small stuff raise my bloodpressure

I filled up my golf cart at Colony this evening and thought it odd that regular unleaded was only around $3.35 a gallon. Then I just read this post and had an ahh haa moment. Competition is good!
