    Ya I’ve seen videos of what the general public does when they are given “trust” to the gas pumps. No thanks.

    In either case you get to stand outside in the wind and cold while you’re forced to pump your own gas. Have fun with that!

      lmao this thread is cracking me up.

      All those horror stories of self-pumped gas.

      I really hope this isn’t the leading edge of a movement to install nanny pumps everywhere.

        Honestly, I never thought someone could feel morally superior about not pumping their own gas.

      You can pry my gas pump from my cold dead hands.

      Or maybe it’ll be crispy and well-done hands if it’s anything like my father, my grandfather or his father before him.

      If you want to triple your time tanking gas because you have to ask an other human being to touch the pump, then wait awkwardly while they make boring small talk, go ahead.

      By the time you get to the front desk, I’m already back on the road.

        I’ve never had any of these experiences you’re speaking of. Sounds like your talking out of your ass.

        I’ve never had “small talk” nor have had to go to a “front desk”. In fact you don’t have to leave your car and gas attendants have zero interest in chatting you up. It’s all in your head.
