Default I hate gas pumps that don't shut off

I filled up at a Shell gas station this morning and the pump did not shut off automatically. Gas was spilled all over the side of my beautifully washed car. I hate pumps that don't shut off, I'll never use that pump again.

I didn't know they had pumps anymore that didn't shut off. Was it an old station?

It is a fairly new Shell station, and new pump. It did shut off, but only after it spilled a load of gas outside the tank all over the side of my car. I don't really care about the station fixing their pump, as I don't use that station very often. Of course, now I know to avoid them if at all possible. And if I do use them, I'd be extra careful and not rely on the auto shut-off.

Despite the accident at Shell, you gotta admit they've got the best air pumps in town! I love their pumps
