    They are pretty standard here in Japan. You can pay cash or credit at the pump. Never a need to go inside. You select how much you want to pay, put in the money, and if it clicks off before the end it’ll give you change.

      Matches the culture. I’ll give you a clue why they’re declining in population growth, zero interaction with other people.

        I thought the birth rate declining was due to them requiring everyone to pixellate their genitals, which makes it much tougher to ‘line things up’

        It does match the culture in the sense that Japan had been a mostly cash society until recent years. In addition, gas stations are not getting robbed as it is a much safer place than the U.S. (as an example).

        As to your remarks, I see people interacting everyday. But since you purport to be an expert, I’d love to hear some more of your hands on experiences and observations regarding zero interaction with other people.
