Yeah, in self-service states, Big Oil has lobbied for restrictions
around ADA requirements. Gas stations used to be required to pump gas
for people with handicapped placards on request. Now, I notice many of
the stations with a sign saying that because of staffing limitations,
the ADA requirement doesn't apply, with some link to the exemption for
single-employee stations.

Anything to save a buck.
