In Massachusetts (North eastern U.S.A.) no pumps are allowed to have that feature either . Some folks will (Illegally) wedge the gas cap in the pump handle to create a sort of homebrew lock to keep the pump on but if the cashier sees it they will usually demand that the person stop and man the pump as the law intends .
