There's not a lot of overhead here. KId sitting at a cashier window. Long past are the days of trusting your car to The Man With The Star™. "Service" is a farce.

And I don't think a lot of consumers bother with convenience items. Hell, you don't even have to walk in anymore. Whip out the card and pay at the pump. A little beep, and off you go -- no human interaction and more importantly no potato chip purchase.

If these places aren't in the business of selling fuel, they're doing a piss-poor job of selling anything else.
