I can't talk about all of Canada but I know that those pump before paying stations are still quite common in the eastern provinces during daytime hours.

- tempestn 8y agoAh, ok, I think the furthest east I've pumped gas is Quebec, but most of my knowledge comes from BC, Alberta and Ontario. Anyway, pre-paying for gas is a thing that's pretty straightforward, is my main point.
- perl4ever 8y agoIt's strange, now that I think of it, to consider that getting gas before paying has died out in a lot of places, such as where I live, but getting (and consuming) food before paying has not.
- tempestn 8y agoAlong with the social norm, there's probably a financial incentive behind that. If you make people pre-pay, they're much less likely to stick around and spend more. But obviously the norm is huge too; you'd be associated with fast food.
