I really can’t be the only guy who hates these new self checkout (Fastlane) systems at Pilots, but it is not for the reason most people think. I just miss the human interaction. Most of my days are spent with just myself in the cab. Even the shipping offices are going no contact the majority of the time, and getting fuel is literally the only time I talk to someone face to face. Now that seems to be disappearing and I can’t help but think that one day I’m going to walk in and find nobody there, just machines ready to take my money.
