Prediction for the future based on how this has gone down elsewhere, in chronological order:

  • The majority of stations will go 50% full service / 50% self service
  • 2/3rds of station attendants will immediately be fired
  • Full service will start taking 20 minutes
  • Fuel companies will petitioned the state saying no one wants full service any longer "for some reason"
  • The law will change allowing stations without a full service option
  • 99+% of stations will not offer full service any longer
  • Max volume, unmutable pump ads begin
  • Spending on gas pump maintenance will drop 50%
  • New years day 2028
