Regarding Saturday, April 26, drive-offs from gas stations are infuriating. It forces more and more of them to require prepayment, which I find a hassle because I want to fill up my tank (paying cash) and make only one trip inside. Ultimately it hurts honest customers who are just trying to go about their lives. Does Missouri have a law like some states that if caught the thieves lose their driver’s license?
