For further context on this story which is not really given as this is a local news outlet a lot (maybe 50%+ ?) of all fuel stations in NZ are completely unmanned. You authenticate your card or phone at a terminal, select the pump and then that pump is unlocked and you fill up. There are no attendants to assist you or accept payment.
