How does it lead to the phasing out of full service pumps when it requires half the pumps to be full service?
Because in another 5 years the staff shortage will be so bad that they can’t staff the pumps, and their Congress will then remove full service pumping from law completely. Granted, some stations (the largest nicest ones with lots of convenience store offerings) will probably keep some full-service pumps as it will always help with bringing people into the store, but a lot of the rural stations will definitely become self service only.
