Honestly I hope it never changes but I am sure at some point it will.
Gas stations that are not self serve create more jobs for people and also if you are going out somewhere and happen to be all dressed up, it is nice not to have to deal with dirty gas pumps. In the end having no attendants is just another way these companies save money.

Completely disagree.
I use both and in my observation there are as many employees at the self serve bar as the full serve.
They will still come out and help you. There are handi-capped drivers, elderly, and (sigh) those that don't know how. There are those inside the retail section of the station and those about cleaning the interior and exterior of it. I visit the self serve down the street and don't think I've seen any less than five staff on shift.
But, even if the argument about jobs does hold water, how the heck does one still not know how? Isn't this taught during driving lessons? How can you spend a life time driving and never leave a state? How do you not know the most basic information about your car?
This is ludicrous and mind boggling.
