What does 'hang the gas pump' mean??

If someone bought just a few dollars of gas, you wouldn't shut the pump off, and when the next guy got a fill, you would just continue pumping, but the next guy paid a few dollars more. Pump jockey would pocket the difference. I worked at a station at Broadway and Victoria in Vancouver, and a couple of the guys got fired for it.

The 'hanging part' is that you hung the pump head on just the bottom hook, with it close to falling off, but the switch was still left on blocking the top slot which helped secure the whole thing. People driving up would not notice. You saved those pumps with a few bucks on them for the big cars or big company trucks (definitely not the next car, or yes you would get fired).
