Default Fuel pump clicking off too early

Hi I've been having an annoying issue where the fuel pump is repeatedly stopping before the tank is full. Any advice on what causes that?

Yes it's that stupid accordion style rubber cap on the pump nozzle that's causing this. Happens to my GS too and there's nothing wrong with our cars, it's the gas pump.

U need to pull back that rubber cup and it'll work just fine. My local Costco is notorious with this problem and sometimes I just want to rip that thing apart.
