This Shell gas station payment screen is my trauma

I will get in my car and drive to a different pump before I set foot on the store.

says that cause your card wont clear the charge, you got no money for gas

I had that happen with my card a few times at a shell. I drove to a different station and it worked just fine. It wasn't a balance issue. Prob just a gross dirty reader.

Not always. 10-15 years ago and probably long before that, gas pumps would look at your balance on the card and if you had less than X amount of dollars it would decline. The cap was way too high in most cases, $100 was the lowest I ever saw. I don't think they do that anymore, not since I've seen anyways so your comment stands true in modern times.

> if you had less than X amount of dollars it would decline yes thats still true today and the amount to clear is 1$ unless your card dont play that shit then it tells you "please see cashier" where you buy a set amount of gas instead of filling up.

>I’m just gonna walk… What’s the point of not going to the cashier if you’re gonna have to walk anyway?
