Because it’s faster and it’s really easy.
Sure it’s easy. And it’s fast either way. Let the other person do it. I’ll stay in my car
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.
Oh no some random dipshit blocked me, what will I do
Lol that shit never happens enough to matter. Get a grip.
@minorsecond @afraid_of_zombies
afraid of zombies seems to be afraid of everything.
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.
Gotcha that is why I have never once in my entire life been stuck waiting on a line outside of my state.
Ok, bud. Have a great day.
