I stop at an exxon/ 7-eleven every morning to get coffee before work, about 4:50 am. Occasionally I see the digital pump screens saying “ all pumps have been stopped “
Yesterday I was standing in line to pay for my coffee and a guy comes in asking about the stoppage and the lady behind the counter said she has to stop the pumps for 15 mins to get a accurate reading before she orders gas. The guy started complaining and she said she was trained to do this and she’s been in the same location for the last 13 years and has always done this.
I’ve never seen other stations stop pumps. I thought since it’s all automated, they would be able to see what’s in the ground at all times. Seems odd to stop for 15 mins.
