Dear Editor,
I usually do not write in but the gas stations in Richmond have become a joke due to the no self-serve bylaw.
This morning I went to Domo to take advantage of their flash sale and the two attendants were standing around yawning and chatting to each other and eventually I had to honk to get their attention. The receipt I requested was not the correct one. I drove back and asked for the receipt. I also asked them to be more attentive and help customers on arrival. They then became extremely rude and when I drove away the one attendant stood in front of my car and pretended to yawn.
At every gas station in Richmond, you find customers pumping their own gas as the attendants are mostly too lazy to assist. They are being paid to help customers, albeit minimum wage.
Richmond, get rid of the bylaw. It’s not serving anyone and isn’t preserving jobs.
