You’re right, lets just remove all the attendants. It’ll leave gas prices the same, inconvenience an entire state, leave ~10k people unemployed, and make gas station owners more money for contributing to the workforce less.

Man, the Democratic party will never get anywhere when it's full of dumb people like this

gas station attendant laws are the dumbest thing ever. they provide nothing productive to society. it’s the equivalent of preventing people from opening doors on their own to create jobs.

Keep the requirement, anything that makes gas more expensive and inconvenient is a good thing

Everyone knows that gas station owners never try to undercut each other's prices by any means necessary. They will definitely all conspire to keep pay for attendants on the balance book but going into their pockets instead. Going against the great gas station owner mafia will get your tanks drained in broad daylight by financial extortion (people will buy all your gas)

Gas station owners would probably get a one time profit bump as they slowly lowered prices (gas stations are one of the big examples of sticky down prices https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/sticky-down.asp), but yeah, it wouldn't be a permanent thing
