I used to work at a petrol station in my village and we would have maybe 1 or 2 drive-offs a month. The petrol station in the next village along from me is a 24hr Jet and they make people pay upfront after 9pm too, and now I think about it the one going into town with is a Total is also 24hr and they do the same.
