Pretty smooth process , plus it helps keep someone employed and not me working for my own groceries I’m paying for.

Keeping someone employed for the sake of employment is the exact opposite thing that should happen. If you can pump your own gas, why should you be forced to have someone else do it for you?

    If I had the option of someone filling my petrol whilst I just sat in the car I would 100% take that up. That's a much better service ! Used to happen, guess labor was too expensive. I don't see there being any harm in helping to keep a young workforce employed instead of doing the work myself for a business?

    Shall someone also massage your feet while they pump your gas?

    How about also read you a bedtime story?

    How about we stop with the useless jobs that waste time and money? Those young workforce could actually be getting experience in a field that is useful to society. And that will get them further in life.

    But ah, then you might have to get out of your car and get your own hand dirty. The horror!

    You'd rather own slaves, wouldn't you?

    You're a bit dramatic aren't you.

    I'm guessing you want people to maintain your water and gas pipes. Probably want someone to build the buildings and even chop down the trees for you!? You just want slaves don't you .

    Are you also particularly judgemental of people wanting shelves stocked as well?
