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.

I live in a relatively small town(100,000). All the gas stations here
simply added the pay at the pump onto the existing pumps. They didn't
add pumps or change the rest of the gas station in any way. Nobody is
building the big mini marts that are common in big cities. There's
still the same number of cash registers at each station, usually two.
