By no means am I suggesting you put your gas on a credit card. That’s a terrible idea. But you could at least use a debit or check card and speed this thing along a bit.
I’m not asking you to be a cutting edge techno geek, but check cards are technology from the last millenia. You could at least get into the 90’s.
I’ve seen this complaint about cash being considered obsolete, while I agree with the complaint in spirit, there is no excuse for wasting time at a gas pump to run inside and put $5.00 on pump #9.

I agree it slows things down a bit, though now gas stations are starting to give discounts to those who pay in cash. The credit card companies and banks charge the gas station a percentage per transaction. With the rising price of gas, this is starting to cut into profits. By paying inside with cash, you could now save up to 15 cents a gallon.
