Shell rebuilding some fuel outlets to be staffless and shop-less - claimed to be as a 'trial'
Shell says it's where shop sales don't produce enough profit to justify a regular fuel outlet with a staffed shop where you pay for fuel and stuff from the shop.
Instead of a shop there will be a row of junk food vending machines, and fuel bowsers that only accept electronic payments.
Most people see if for what it is - getting rid of staff, getting rid of being able to pay with cash, making fuel outlets more like self-serve checkouts in supermarkets, etc. where you are automatically regarded as a criminal until AI proves you're not.
What do you think?
Is this perhaps also a push to 'normalise' fully self-service 'fuelling' because EV charging stations are all app-based and you can't pay with cash for your EV recharges?
