There is a means to reduce the level of frustration (but probably not the pain) at the gas pumps. Not just for Rob.
The pump charge limit (typically 75$us) is imposed by the card companies and does not apply to a verified card purchase.
If you (like me) hate having to restart the pump three (maybe four in some places) to fill the tanks on a GMC, then just start the fill with the "Pay Inside" button. Then, the pump will run as long as the attendant allows.
So - If you do not shove the plastic into the slot, just start the pump on the "Pay Inside" button and let it run. After lunch and when the pump shuts down, then go inside and hand the counter person the card. One slip to mark and file and probably no more stop time when you include the three (or four) card restarts.
