Labor cost for gas goes to zero,

Labor cost has been zero since the late 70's.



lots of people still go in to grab
something while the tank fills.


But there's less of them because of the pay at the pump.

I guess he means for the guy behind the counter to swipe your card and tear
apart the receipts . The last time I had my gas pumped for me was in the
late 70's in Idaho at a farmers Co-Op. Around here (central Texas) it is
highly frowned upon to be filling your tank while you are in the store
buying snacks, as he suggests.
