I certainly didn't take it that way.

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.


I live in one of those States, but I'm originally from Tennessee and

return for
visits. When I travel south, I tend to stop at the same places for gas

every
trip. In those stations, over half of the registers have been replaced

with
counter displays since the pay-at-the-pump schemes came in.



Which just goes to prove that not as many people go inside to buy snacks. I
always thought the pay-at-the-pump stores were shooting themselves in the
foot!
