    Default Boo-urns. No more Shell Easypay!

    Just got a letter saying they're discontinuing Shell Easypay, starting June 1st, and aren't coming out with another pay at the pump system (yet).

    Shitty, I really liked Easypay, so much better than having to swipe/use pin#.

    I weep for the extra 10 seconds it will now take to pay for your fuel.

    Honestly I still go in and pay every time. I can count on a single hand the number of times I have paid at the pump. I select my grade, fill it up, go into the store grab a vitamin water, slurpee, snack, pack of smokes etc. and pay at the counter.

    I usually find there is something I want in the store that makes me go in there otherwise so I might as well pay for my gas there as well.

    Though maybe if I started paying at the pump it would help my waist line a little ha ha.

    I watched a show recently that went around and tested a bunch of gas pump handles and showed most of them had bacteria/fecal matter.

    They explained that most of the time people don't get sick because their immune systems are strong enough. But still

    ^^and by "fecal matter," they mean E. coli, which can be found on just about everywhere, including a lot of your food. so although it sounds bad, it's not really different than anything else you're toughing all day.

    I'm pretty sure I said in a thread somewhere that Easypay is ending 1st half of 2011. I'm surprised they are just sending the letter out now.

    The cost of the keeping a system like that up is too high for retail gas business. It's cheaper to let credit card companies to deal with security of payment systems.

    Big oil has been exiting retail business for a while now:

    http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/...38193020080612

    So they won't be spending any more $ in that front. I'm surprised Esso still has their Speedpass.

    Damn I loved Easy Pay. It was so damn quick, and one of the main reasons I always fill up at Shell. Scan, say no to car wash, and fill up.

    You guys never go fill up on gas and walk inside to 5 other customers standing in front of you? Each trying to pay with loose change?

    It’s frustrating when you could’ve paid at the pump with the easypay/speedpass and just go.

    Now it’s just one less convenience that we use to have.

    I wouldn’t mind if they’re doing away from the easypay to implement MC or Visa’s RFID payment.

    Some Shell stations are worst than others. But it's all depends on which generation of pump system they get.

    The best are the ones with dedicated premium pump.

    I vaguely remember when you had to go inside to pay no matter what. So whats the big deal now? Is it just people have gotten lazy? too caught up thinking there time is that important?

    Paying at the pump means you don't go inside. Not going inside means you won't buy anything other than gas.
