<p>A method and computer-usable memory encoded with executable instructions for transacting fuel purchases using an island transaction terminal which controls a plurality of fuel dispensing pumps interconnected to the island transaction terminal through a central attendant terminal. Whether one of the plurality of fuel dispensing pumps is already reserved by another island transaction terminal or by a central attendant terminal is determined. Money or a money equivalent is accepted at the island transaction terminal for a fuel purchase. The requested fuel dispensing pump is automatically enabled to dispense fuel upon verification of the money or money equivalent acceptance.</p> |
