I'm 60, so me, too. But, I haven't seen a pump or a station that allows pumping before paying in many, many years.
You hand over cash at the counter, and they turn on the pump. Or you pay at the pump--you need to put your card in before the pump will start.
Depends where you live. I live in Australia, and there isn't a single service station that makes you prepay where I love. You can just pump and pay at the end, always.
You make love in the gas station?
No elevators nearby
In my wanderings around the USA I've only encountered one pump that allowed pump before pay. At some obscure Nevada gas station in a little pass-through town in the middle of nowhere.
It's possible that some of the places that used to skip prepay were illegally taking the cost of a pump and run out of the pay of whoever was on register. I've never experienced it personally, but I've heard a lot of stories.
