Pump clicked off finished filling at exactly $100! So satisfying. (Notwithstanding high fuel prices, c'est la vie)

That's a wild system. In Canada they bring the terminal to you, you put in the tip amount and then your card is charged all at once. Or at some places they'll bring you the bill and you can write in your tip, and then you take the bill up to a counter to pay. This only occurs in very small family restaurants usually though. Before chip and pin got popular they would still bring the bill and you would write in your tip, and then they'd take the bill and your card back and charge it all at once. Why would they take your card before you write in the tip, that doesn't even make sense and just creates an extra step.
Yeah, the USA is weird when it comes to banking and financial services.
Sounds like Canada is similar in Australia. At a lot of places in Australia, you pay when ordering. Sometimes you pay at the end. Aussies don't really do tips though, and prices must always include tax, so it's a lot simpler. Something on the menu is $20, you pay $20. That's it.
