Gas Pump Puzzler

I've had my FR-S all of five days on...maybe my fifth trip to a gas station since driving it back from California. A Murpny station that opened 2-3 years ago. Couldn't get any gas to pump. Tried three different pumps and the first two twice. Each time the pump was ready to pump but never got it to engage and put forth any fuel. After the third pump, I went in to ask if there was issues with the premium or they were aware of any issues with certain car models and the guy said no. I drove down the street to the Shell station and fueled up without issue, as I had on all previous stops prior to that Murphy station. The Murphy nozzle type did not seem to be quite the same as what I had experienced previously when filling up the FR-S and the Shell station seemed as the others did. The Murphy pump nozzle did not slide all the way in when the pump was oriented at 12 to 6, although I could slide it all the in when angled from 9 to 3. Shell pump nozzle slid all the way in at 12 to 6. I have filled other vehicles and a motorcycle at that Murphy without issue in the past. Anyone ever have any similar experiences???
