Its windy night at 30C below and I want to top up my car for the week.
I remove my glove and insert my points card that saves me 10 cents a liter, and wait and wait.
Remove the card quickly it flashes and I do so, and put it in my wallet.
Draw out my credit card and try to tap it.
Long pause and the pump flashes to insert it. I do so and wait.
Long pause and it flashes do I want a car wash.
At 30C below. I don't think so. Push the button an wait.
It flashes enter your pin, which I do.
Long pause until it flashes for me to remove my card.
Which I do, and it immediately starts loudly beeping at me to lift the handle and select grade of gas I need. Could I put my card and wallet away first you noisy slow thinking tin moron?
Pump my gas and put the handle back.
The screen reads you have selected a printed receipt.
Yup I want it, and I wait and wait.
It finely rolls out a foot of paper flapping in the cold wind which I tear off with my frozen hand.
