A method and system for preventing fuel theft includes one or more tamper detection sensors mounted on a fuel dispenser, the tamper detection sensors being operable to detect dislocation of one or more portions of the fuel dispenser's shell. A dispenser security controller is communicatively coupled to the one or more tamper detection sensors and is operable to generate a trigger signal in response to receiving a tamper detection signal from the one or more tamper detection sensors. A dispenser transaction-termination switch is electrically coupled to the fuel dispensing circuit and in signal communication with the dispenser security controller and is operable to simulate a fuel pump handle hang up and/or a transaction not-authorized condition in response to a trigger signal from the dispenser security controller.

A method of doing business can be provided in accordance with the present invention. The method of doing business can include converting credit card customers of a fuel service station to cash customers of the fuel service station by utilizing a biometric sensor at a POS location in the fuel service station to store biometric data for selected ones of the credit card customers. Subsequently, a fuel pump can be activated for each cash customer who submits to a biometric scan at the fuel pump and where the biometric scan produces data which when compared to the stored biometric data, qualifies the cash customer. Additionally, a purchase transaction can be consummated for dispensed fuel at the fuel pump by requiring the cash customer remit cash payment for the dispensed fuel at the POS location.

A lightweight bag holder made from at least one section. The section of the bag holder has a first vertical edge, second vertical edge and a bag holding edge. The bag holder has a releasable connecting means which allows the first vertical edge to be moved away from the second vertical edge to form a second mouth. The second mouth allows lateral removal of the bag from the bag holder. The size of the first mouth of the bag holder can be varied to accommodate different sized bags.
