The automated filling station system of the present invention allows customers to obtain change in currency at the time of purchase, thereby accommodating cash customers as well as credit customers, and on-time customers as well as returning customers. In one embodiment, the system is implemented as a network (10) of filling stations (16) that report to a remote host computer (12). Each filling station (16) has a number of fuel pump systems (22) and a change dispenser system (24). Upon completion of a fueling transaction, a code is provided to a customer at a fuel pump system (22). The customer can enter the code to receive cash at the change dispenser (24) or can use the code for credit towards a subsequent fuel purchase within the network (10).

L'invention concerne une station-service automatisée, capable de rendre la monnaie aux clients au moment de l'achat, ce qui convient aux clients qui paient en espèces comme à ceux qui paient par carte ou par chèque, et aux clients qui ne viennent qu'une seule fois comme à ceux qui reviennent. Dans l'un des modes de réalisation, le système se présente sous la forme d'un réseau (10) de stations-services (16) qui échangent des données avec un ordinateur hôte à distance (12). Chaque station-service (16) comporte une pluralité de systèmes de pompes à essence (22) et un système distributeur de monnaie (24). Quand il a fini de se ravitailler en carburant, le client reçoit un code au niveau d'une pompe à essence (22). Il peut soit entrer le code de façon à recevoir de la monnaie au niveau du distributeur de monnaie (24), soit l'utiliser pour ouvrir un crédit en vue d'un autre achat d'essence dans le réseau (10).
