Whatever is happening must be either locking the attendant out or is leaving the attendants machine in a bad state with the pump running switch &amp;quot;on&amp;quot; so to speak.
I wonder if it&amp;#x27;s actually NFC. It&amp;#x27;d be interesting to see what a Flipper Zero would come up with.</text></comment>
