Why do I want to get out my car and do that bullshit. Let someone else do it

    Because it’s faster and it’s really easy.

    Is it faster? What studies did you do to conclude that?

    Do I need a scientific study to know that me getting out of my car and pumping my own gas is faster than waiting for an attendant to come over, take my card, ask me which gas grade I want, whether or not to fill it up, have them walk away to service other customers, mine finished while they’re in the middle of talking to someone else, now I wait for them to come back over..

    Do you ask questions this stupid in real life, or are you just being dumb online?

    Personal attack, enjoy your block, while you are waiting for all the pumps blocked by people not able to use the credit card reader.

    The rest of the country figured out how to use a credit card terminal and pump their own gas decades ago. Welcome to 2023 - we don't have flying cars, but even grandma knows how Apple Pay works.

    I guess you don’t pay anyone to do anything in your life

    Not something that easy, no. Would you pay someone to tie your shoelaces too?

    Pretty idiotic example. Can’t come up with something better?

    No, it's not, it fits perfectly with how simple the task is. The fact that you think it doesn't fit just furthers my point.

    Y'all are BOTH making invalid arguments. There are pros and cons to both methods. You have each grown accustomed to one way and the other way seems strange to each of you. It's not like one of you is wrong and one right.

    I grew up in Oregon but have pumped gas when traveling in other states. Getting out to pump your gas is a minor inconvenience. Waiting for an attendant to serve you is a minor inconvenience. Each of you is simply used to a different minor inconvenience.

    Chill.
