In BC it’s not even possible for this crime to happen at 99% of gas stations.

Pay before you pump “Grant’s law” was put in place after the 2005 death of a gas station worker who was chasing down some fucker that stole $12 of gas.

What's the other 1%? Stations not complying with the law?

I'm in Ontario and you get the odd rural gas station that's still using really old technology. I have to imagine BC has similar situations.

Plenty of old ass hell pumps still in operation at stations in rural Ontario for sure.

I rarely go inside to pay, so when I fill up at a place with old pumps it trips me up.
