Some filling stations also use the arrangement of four buttons on either side of a large dot matrix screen, for a total of eight buttons. But even this has alignment problems -- ones I've experienced personally despite images being difficult to find. But these [1][2] show the problem: the options listed on the in-set screen come out of alignment with the buttons at extreme angles. That, coupled with other design decisions [3] makes some filling stations frustrating to use.
