Believe it or not self-service gasoline is a bad idea. The cost of universal service is negligible (maybe 1 cent per gallon?), and provides employment to people who can’t otherwise get any.

Such a bad idea, it doesn't work in the other 48 States? First I've ever heard of it being an issue... But why not force every company to hire superlative positions? Every grocery store should have someone who walks with each customer to get all the stuff off the shelf. Every petco should hire a guy whose only job is to pet each pet that walks in. Every office needs a guy who just walks around asking how everyone's day is going.

Gas stations make maybe three to five cents per gallon. I wouldn't call 20-30% less profit a "negligible cost"...

Agree. Just wait for all electric cars...you won't be able to plug yours in...without assitance a "plugger in guy"
