Labor cost for gas goes to zero,

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



They still have to pay the checkout people, and if you have to pay inside, they
have to have more cashiers and registers.


He was talking about people pumping gas. Except for a couple of moronic
states that don't allow self serv fuel I see the same number of workers
inside as I always have.


No, I was talking about the extra cashier(s) you have to have if the
station doesn't have pay at the pump.

Around here the traditional 3-6 pump stations are fading away and being
replaced with mini-marts that have 6-15 automated pumps. When the pay at
the pump stuff fails, they become chaotic because they don't have enough
staff.
