The future is convenient -- and robotic
For years, full service refueling has been the most common choice when consumers visited a gas station, and it is still a great service. But how will that look in the future? Will it be possible and affordable to recruit people for these jobs? Will the demand for convenience grow as the world gets more digital? The full service concept is still a very common and popular service in the South European countries. With temperatures of up to 40 C in the summer and a well developed tradition of good service, it's clear why full service is still a competitive asset for the South European fuel retail market.
