Pumps are very closely regulated, it's extremely unlikely that any sort of scam is going down. Using the handle lock is no different from holding the lever down with your hand, it's a purely mechanical device that simply keeps the handle in the squeezed position. The fuel cuts off due to some mechanism in the nozzle or the evap system in the car I believe? It has nothing to do with whether or not you're holding the handle or using the lock.

Are you confused because your fuel gauge isn't updating in real time? Fuel gauges don't usually reflect added fuel until the car starts up, if you left it running it might need to be turned off and back on to show the current amount.
Ive been driving it last night back home and this morning to work it is like I paid $10 for nothing. I am going to see if it goes on E though cause I legit had a good filled to a quarter 1/4 of a tank fill it up with $10 and it is still at 1/4...
