And yes I know a match only can light a puddle of gas when its done in a movie. Although I've only read this, never tried it.

A lit match would absolutely ignite it. It's the lit cigarette butt that would not, as it always does in the movies.
I feel for the guy w the disability if it's legitimate but he should be nowhere near customers if that's the case. I'm going to take a WAG that this was not the first time he had a short-circuit on duty. If he said that to the wrong person down on this side of the border, he might get lead poisoning.
Lastly, I'm in WI. and I love just about everything here including the fuel prices but I've never seen so many malfunctioning pumps in my life! It seems like every diesel pump runs on a little after the click and gives the side of my truck a fuel bath. Even if I man the pump manually, (which I always do now as it gets close to full),
it still kicks back a splash when it shuts off! I've never seen this happen in CA., where the pumps are a lot better because of regulation.
