The gas station I worked at used a paper bag when offline. Good, not great.

How did the pumps work when there was no power?

bradlyOP1y ago

No power is different than no internet, so that was different. We were a 24/7 store (7-Eleven) and sometimes we would close if it was a prolonged power outage. No one has 100% uptime, not even 24 hour gas stations.

He said "offline" not "no power".

Also, fuel station can probably successfully run it's own backup power;)

They don’t, at least not here in the US. In areas with power outages, gasoline stations do not operate.
