I wonder how long before “pay at the pump” is taken away ! Anymore, slide in card, pump gas, answer if I want receipt. The only time I ever walk into the gas station is to use the bathroom.

I would think that ‘pay-at-the-pump’ will be around for some time. It is harder for theft than a self-checkout where you scan items in.

Banks once thought they would safe on employee (teller) costs when they installed ATMs and then found out that they just increased transaction volume. So now, the justification is customer convenience and not reduction in staff, as Obama suggests.

Hell, in New Jersey, at least near the beach area near Ft. Monmouth, you can’t pump your own gas...they have India Indians specifically there to grab your card and punch the machine for you, you have to put the gas in......nice unions there...

This would only happen in blue states where politicians are trying to promote fake job growth. Like Baraq wanting to substitute bank tellers for ATMs.

One of the things I enjoy about traveling out of state is being able to buy gas at a self-service pump. NJ doesn't have them.
