  I don’t get this?

  So they go out of the car, put the pump in, pumped it, paid, went back into the car, and drove off?

    With autopay the payment is done automatically by reading a proximity device on the filling hole, with credit/debit cards you put the card in to activate the pump, not at the end of pumping.

    Go out of the car, put nozzle on other side of the car, go back inside the car waiting for it to be done, assume a station worker took the nozzle out, drive, hear a station worker screaming, drive back to return part of the pump.

  Why would the fuel cap be on the other side of the car from the filly filly gas hole?

    Fuel cap and filling hole on the passenger side and not on the driver side

      Not only is that now what you said, but that doesn’t inherently increase the risk of driving off with the nozzle in the car.
