Helpful Tips:

• Use pump closest to storefront, in line of sight for store personnel
• Before pumping, check for unusual Bluetooth signals with IDs of a string of numbers and letters; might be a skimmer
• Check that security tape on pump cabinet has not been damaged. Torn tape might indicate cabinet opened without store personnel's knowlege
• Safest bet is to pay inside with cash
• Always save the receipt and monitor your bank statements after filling up.
