Y'all STILL have REAL service stations. Wow!. That's great. Service stations died around here more than 30 years ago
No, just "gas pumpers." Like in New Jersey.
All it is, is a union or some such organization using its (corrupt) influence to create "make work" by force of law, rather than letting the market decide if a job is necessary.
Most people won't pay X cents a gallon to have the fuel pumped for them, and it's rare to find a station in NY for example that doesn't charge extra for the "full service" island than the "self."
It's convenient but somehow I bet gas would be several cents cheaper per gallon if they didn't have to pay someone to pump it, by law.
Oh yeah, and those booties would probably look WORSE at a typical gas pump, because a lot more people, and a more diverse cross-section of the population, use the gas pumps.
