It wouldn't bother me one bit if pay before pump was mandatory... It would just be really nice if it didn't take a minute and a half to do the transaction. That's the annoying part. Almost as annoying as the pump constantly being out of paper, forcing you to go inside. When that happens, I do not spend any money in the store, out of spite. Esso at Crowchild and 5th, I'm looking at you.
Anyway, it's pretty common for people to want their gas on a separate receipt, anyway, so in my world, I'd still be inclined to pay for gas at the pump, then go inside for tea or a snack.
