Pin needed at pump.
Recent days have seen the Esso station at Mt. Pleasant Rd. and Merton St. make payment at the pump mandatory, but only in the outer lanes. That’s pumps 3 and 1 on the west side and 12 and 13 on the east side. Staff say the move is in response to “huge” losses to gas-and-dash thieves at all hours. Until now, the gas felons have preferred the outside lanes as a means to a fast getaway. Your pin is needed for payment at the pump but if you gas up at an inner pump you can still tap to pay inside.
