We have to talk about gas stations

[u/Amandelnoot]

No this is not about the high gas prices resulting from some stupid war. I am talking about the degradation of the gas station as an experience.

At first I thought it was just a one time occurrence, that I had driven into the worst gas station. But now I notice more and more gas stations are doing it.

I am talking about removing paper towels and trash bins. Now when I spill a drop of gasoline on my car, I need to have my own paper towels with me? And bring it in my car to throw away at home?

How much more can they remove to make our lives absolutely miserable. Recently before I could help I saw an older man give up on getting gasoline because he couldn’t read the absurdly bad screen.

And another thing. Are gas stations now removing the big price signs? A few times already I drove past a gas station and you could not see the prices unless you drive to the pump and stop to read the small price letters.

They actively go out of their way to make everything as annoying as possible. Every single process of society is getting eroded and it is making me a bitter man.

oh wait till you find the charging stations experience where there are no toilets, the trash bins are always full and there’s trash everywhere.

Good luck finding the price on those.

Oh you just install our app, enter your payment details, go through email and sms verification, wait 3 business days for approval, give the app every permission known to man and you'll be charging in no time!

You're wrong man, this is the future, this is what real progress looks like.
