I do not belive that any of the new gas stations will be self serve.
1. No Mexican is going to be caught pumping gas in his, her vehicle, it is considered a status simbol, you drive a car instead of walking or using public transportation.
2. The personel that pump fuel and check under the hood have a job, a comodity in Mexico, go to Home Depot or Walmart or any supermarket, even the 7-11 corner store has more personel than what you find in the USA.
3. Labor in Mexico is paid a lot, lot lower than the US annd is affordable for the owners of the enterprice, if you live in Mexico you can afford to have a live in person to help do the house cleaning, laundry, cooking, Etc.
And last and most important those atendants are greatfull to have a job.
No Mexican is going to be caught pumping theire own gas, what a disgrace!
Go to the supermarket or Costco, they get to the checkout counter with a cart full of stuff and wait until an attendant places the items on the band to be rung up, then they have a baging person push the cart to the vehicle and have them load it in the car, now the tip is very generous one incredible coin of five pesos.
In anthropology this is called "upward mmobility" they drive a car, ofcourse the upper middle class an higher ups "will never" pump gas themselfs.
