It was recently revealed that ADNOC have plans to implement self service at their petrol stations - with a fee attached to anyone who wants to pay someone else to do it.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter... Is this a huge deal? Are we so spoilt in Dubai that filling petrol in a car shouldn't be an issue? Will this mean loss of jobs for employees?

And more important, CAN you even fill your own petrol in your car?

We are definitely getting spoiled! Refilling ourown car is simply what we have to do in any other country in the rest of the world :) I don't thinks it should be an issue except for the poor ADNOC ...
Agreed that was my first thought - people will lose jobs, they'll only need half the work force if not less. But saying that, everyone's going to end up paying premium aren't they... As you said, we're spoiled... Probably slightly lazier, too!
