Think about it... 2000 complaints a year, and yet, the retailers haven't made the change themselves. This proposal is all about the police not wanting to deal with it anymore. It's not coming from the public or the retailers.

What the retailers will work out fairly quickly is you don't need a gas station anymore, just a pump at the side of the road, no overhead, not much cost for real estate, no salary to pay. See it all the time in europe.
