There was a time when no one pumped their own gas. You drove up to the pump and the attendant came out to your car. You told them what you wanted, they pumped it, then you gave them money and were off. Things change. Today, there is only one state that requires attendants and in most states you cannot find a Full-Service line.
Prices did not go down when gas stations no longer had attendants but I will bet prices are higher for those stations that still do.
Self checkout appears to be the future. I can imagine the day when there is a service charge to go through a manned checkout line.
