A change in how you pay for your gas has taken effect through-out BC.
Mandatory 'pay before you pump' rules started at midnight.
Drivers now have to pay before gassing up either right at the pump or at the cashier inside.
Keith Wood with Vernon's Esso stations says the new rules will take a lot of pressure off gas attendants.
"This whole law is for the safety and the welfare of the worker. It tremendously reduces the stress of the cashier because right now, people don't realize it, but if you're not paying at the pump they you are potentially a thief and we're watching you."
Wood says he expects negative response to be minimal as more than half of his customers already pay at the pump.
