They are trying to hold on though. They still can't have more self-serve pumps that they do full serve at the same station. They are trying to leave it open for those who don't want to do it.

New Jersey is the lone hold-out now.

Self-service has been an option here in Ohio since the mid 1970s.
The first time I was hit by a car was from running back and forth between pumps, working as an attendant. (1978) We had 6 full-service pumps and 3 self-service. That flipped about a year after I started (3 to 6) and never went completely to self-service, while I was there. (1981)

Something funny is going on here....someone didn't get the message? Some of the places out in the suburbs are selling for $3.04 yet in town it's $3.39

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
