I did my usual "dumb blond" routine , had the guys all laughing, and the nice lady at the cash register just told me to go ahead, fill up and then pay later. Nice folks in North Carolina.
Most of the stations in this area are still post-pay. I know of one that's strictly pre-pay (where they also mark all twenties checking for counterfeit), and a couple of others that require pre-payment only on pumps the attendant can't see from behind the register.

It's not much of a stretch to imagine stations eventually going cashless, accepting only credit or debit card payment at the pump.
