/ Pin Number Frequency

I frequently pay at the pump at the local gas station. The other day I noticed that the wear pattern on the pump’s PIN pad shows distinct wear on the 0 and Enter keys (see photo). My guess is that people are frequently choosing 0000 as their PIN number. Hopefully, I’m wrong.

Is 0000 the most common pin number?
