My mother would never use a self-service gas pump. She kept an ever-shrinking list of stations that still provided full service. Fortunately for her, my father was usually the one doing the driving and did not feel the same way. Other than NJ, I don't know where to find any full-service pumps today.

You may or may not like self-checkouts but to me the writing is on the wall: there will soon come a day when the list of stores you will patronize becomes very small.

Of course, with all the online shopping and home delivery options, there may soon be no stores to go to anyway.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
