I think the downfall of the local gas station was 'Pay at the Pump.'
Its easier, more convenient and obviously much safer for the employees, but gas stations back in the day made their bank on selling you criminally over-priced beef jerky and pop when you had to come inside to pay.
Over time though? I had two friends work at gas stations in High School and their answer was always the same: 'what do you make your money on?'
"Cigarettes and Red Bull."
