Austrian gas stations - part 2

This gas station is in Graz, Austria's 3rd largest city, in the south of the country close to the Slovenian border. We were there for a Pastor's weekend last November. "Jet" is a discount brand here in Austria, of all the discount chains it is by far the nicest, cleanest around and: "Tadaaa" - you can pay at the pump! (with your PIN like at the ATM, but never the less - it accepts bank (debit) cards, and Visa, I think)
This is a big deal in Austria, because gas stations usually equate pubs usually equates you smell like you were in a pub smoking for an hour after you went in there for five minutes and paid.
Brenda and I went to this gas station to buy some whipped cream - but they didn't have any. Don't ask what the whipped cream was for.
"Jet", btw, is a brand of the Conoco group, so having lived in Tulsa for 10 years, this makes yet another reason to buy gas there...
