Speaking of paying inside, any thoughts on how many gas stations will disable pay at the pump come 2020?

If you know what to look for, you'll realize how many actually have the correct card readers (hint: look for the ones that let you insert cards in either direction). Sure, not all of them will have the readers by 2020, but I think the major chains will.
