Growing up in Alabama I always pumped then paid the attendant.

I found paying first super confusing. How do I know what it will cost ahead of time?

Then credit cards were ubiquitous and I never really thought about it again.

Typically if you don't get as much fuel as you paid for you go back in for change.

Isn't there a meter on the pump showing the current amount you have to pay?
