Today my wife and I went to Palisades Interstate Park. It is across from NYC....on the NJ side of the river.

That looks like a very peaceful getaway.

The park was awesome. The drive on I-95 past Giant's Stadium was not as peaceful.

I wonder how that affects gas prices…?
All small convenience stores here have only one clerk, even if they have about 10 self-serve pumps. One employee on the clock, as opposed to several.

not by much honestly.. prices are kinda fixed.. the difference is so little. And its controlled depending on distance of the refineries. Where I live is one of the most expensive.

Another one...this is a photo of me taken by my wife.

We don't here. All self service.

I think I've told this story before, but I was working on a project freshman year of college when in the middle of it, my partner got a call from her roommate who was from NJ...asking how to pump gas.

Yep, state law in NJ says you can't pump your own gas I think.

Yea, might be different here in the US, though not sure.
I imagine employing 2-4 more people at the same time might affect your bottom line.
Which brings up the question, how big are average gas stations in states like New Jersey…?
Our Texas-based (and other states now) Buc-ee’s down in New Braunfels has 60 gas pumps.
Can you just imagine the number of attendants they’d need if it was required by law…?!!!!!

Curious -- do you have both options in Texas? Most stations up here are self service, but we all have full service stations as well.

All self-service here too.

We had Mexican tonight but not nachos. They had them as a special but more in the mood for quesadillas.
