I had to leave and try my luck to the next junction - fortunately made it.

I think it's going a bit far with streamlining things when they don't have attendants at places like this - whatever happened to personal service?
hi gayle, we have alot of unmanned petrol stations up here,they do accept both debit and credit cards into the pumping station and if you have a look at the petrol/diesel prices they are cheaper compaired to manned stations,it seems to be growing in the north east for these kind of petrol stations
