Isn't the procedure for the state to lock the pump any time it fails the weights and measures tests?

I see a Bucc-ee's on there, north of Fort Worth. The place has to be the new one on I-35. Dang.

Seems like I heard that in the past, but is it true? IDK

TDA has 72 weights and measures inspectors throughout the state checking more than 65,000 fuel pumps a year. An inspector will place an "out of order" tag on any pump not dispensing the correct amount of fuel within the allowable tolerance.
The station owner or operator is responsible for having a pump repaired by a service company licensed through TDA before the pump can be further used to sell fuel. A TDA inspector will then place a new seal on the pump after it has been tested and found to be operating properly.

"Service Station", what service? Long gone are the days we pulled up to the pump and someone came out to gas up the car, check the tires and oil, wipe the windows and then ask us, '"is that all I can do for you"
