The curious marsupial popped into the service station in Woodside in the Adelaide Hills, about 37 kilometres east of the state's capital.
The unexpected customer was caught wandering into the service station and exploring its new surroundings on CCTV.
But not happy with just browsing the aisles, the marsupial decided to hop behind the counter for a better look and even climbed up a confused cashier's leg.
Wildlife rescuers were quickly called to the premises and returned the koala to its natural habitat.
