Huh. I had thought this has already taken effect when this was in the news over a month ago, but apparently not. Guess that means I broke some laws when I passed through the State on a road trip in July.

Requiring gasoline to be pumped by dedicated pump-jockeys has one benefit: it employs people. It reminds me of “the reeks and wrecks” in Vonnegut’s “Player Piano”: a mindless job that keeps people busy
And as much as I hate reggaeton, this song can be added to the video playlist above.

It was dependent on the size of the town your pump was located in. Prior to today heavily populated areas were allowed to get pumpin’ – coveted small rural jobs were PROTECTED.
Ooooops, I am told i got it backwards. Big cities get jobs, farmers suffer.!

I would say one of the new risks of unmanned gas pumps is the installation of credit card skimmers, which on gas pumps, are becoming much more sleek and difficult for the average person to spot.
