And I don't know about in Seattle, but here in GA the authorities take that *VERY* seriously. The law is very clear, the pump *SHALL* be on zero before the first drop is dispensed.

And they will bring a gallon or 5 gallon jug to check that it's accurate and shut you down right now if it isn't.

It appears that enforcement is inconsistent.

According to the news story it took Weights and Measures two weeks to respond to thier complaints.
