It's a hard line stance against switching it to cost the exact same or more, while also being shittier. I don't see what's so great about a worse way of pumping gas. Self serve makes gas stations slower. It makes lines longer. It sucks. Everybody has to do it themselves including the people that can never figure out how it works and the people that can barely get out of their car let alone start playing gas attendant without taking forever.

I've spent many years in places where you pump your own gas and my experience was that it was objectively worse in every way I can imagine. I just don't see what's so great about this much shittier way of doing things.

Call me crazy but I'd rather the experience of getting gas be quicker, easier, more affordable, and more comfortable. I know that's a really dramatic hardline stance to take but I guess I'm just a rebel.

Hard pass. I want to keep going to full service and I don't feel like paying a bunch extra for the honor. Because you know self serve won't be cheaper than gas is now, full service would just be more expensive than gas is now.
