Hahaha! No!! I don't think he did! I had stopped at one of those "service centers" on the turnpike (Cheesequake?!??) and pulled up to the pump. Being short on time trying to get back to the airport, I hopped out and stuck my credit card in the card reader.
This guy comes running up and says - with a "Taliban" kind of accent: "Pump stopped!!".
Barely understanding him, I replied that I was trying to pay with a credit card, but the pump wasn't working. He said again, "Pump stopped! Shift change!"
I said, "Oh do I have to wait or something before I can swipe my card?"
He was getting obviously annoyed at this point and yelled, "You cannot pump gas! Get back in car!".
Then I realized that I was the only one not sitting in my car. :>)
