I'm from Canada. I don't have a zip code. It's impossible for me to buy gas in the US without the good graces of a clerk to manually override it.
I want some enterprising Canadian to take advantage of US law and sue the gas companies for discrimination on the basis of national origin. Too many companies in the US think only in US terms and norms and leave themselves open to lawsuits as a result.

Then again, I have to earn a living fixing their process mistakes, so I guess I don't want them to get it right too much.
