I'm not sure about not permitting, but I remember getting gas for a rental car in Paris, from one of these sidewalk places (looks nothing like a gas station; parisians, hopefully you know what I mean), and I sure was happy when the attendant came out to pump it for me. I wouldn't have known what to do at all.
