Why do I want to get out my car and do that bullshit. Let someone else do it
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.
That is impressive levels of lazy.
I guess you don’t pay anyone to do anything in your life
Not something that easy, no. Would you pay someone to tie your shoelaces too?
Pretty idiotic example. Can’t come up with something better?
No, it's not, it fits perfectly with how simple the task is. The fact that you think it doesn't fit just furthers my point.
I didn’t realize that I was talking to someone who’s every task is simple. Fuckn clown. Lol
Lol, impressive levels of lazy
Guess work smart, not harder isn’t your thing. I’ll sit in my nice AC/heat in the summer/winter and let the guy pump my gas in pretty much exactly the same amount of time that it would take me to do it. Keep on keepin on, tough guy
Y'all are BOTH making invalid arguments. There are pros and cons to both methods. You have each grown accustomed to one way and the other way seems strange to each of you. It's not like one of you is wrong and one right.
I grew up in Oregon but have pumped gas when traveling in other states. Getting out to pump your gas is a minor inconvenience. Waiting for an attendant to serve you is a minor inconvenience. Each of you is simply used to a different minor inconvenience.
Chill.
