I sell gasoline. We have well over 100 customers a day who pay at te pump.Out of curiosity, I wonder if you guys who are extra deep into credit card sales have customers with prepaid &/or rewards cards who don't always know what the balance is? Is there some delays at the pump or at the gas station pay counters because of it? I would think it could even affect the self service with delays to some extent. Maybe it is not significant ... I really am not sure.

This issue is not significant. A couple of times a year a newbie doesn't understand that if they choose a fillup there is a hold on the card for a day for the max auth.
The costlier issue is chargebacks for a pay at te pump where the customer later claims it was a fraudulent or stolen charge. This happens once a month or so. It's a big wack considering gross margins.
