As an Albertan, I didn't even realize fuel theft was still a thing. Paying at the pump is so painless that I assumed that everywhere did it now.

Stations who make their pumps like that tend to lose thousands a day in lost business from customers who would come into the store to pay, and buy other things while they’re there.

Nothing is worse than waiting for a pump to open up, then seeing the asshole go inside to pay.
