    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
