Dominos gas stations here on STT have been closed for a while. Anyone know why?

I think their barge did not pass Coast Guard inspection. It is sure a PITA having them closed!

Why's it a PITA? Are there a lot of Dominos gas stations on STT, all closed?

Yes, all the Domino stations are closed and have been for a long while. They are one of the only full service stations. The Texaco in Bovoni will do full-serve. Okay, not full-serve in the old sense- they don't wash your windshield and check your oil. BUT they pump the stinky gas for you!(tu)

No pity, definitely PITA!

Don't all Texacos pump your gas for you?? Haven't used them in awhile. But I believe so.

The Texaco by the airport doesn't. The new station near Havensight, across from Wendy's usually pumps for you.

You are right. The Texaco by the airport doesn't pump your gas for you. Haven't used them in a very, very, long time, so I forgot. Old age setting in...LOL!

So does the one in Tutu, I have to always remember which side is "full service" to avoid it (they charge more even if you pump yourself on that side).

Always pump my own gas. Did it in the states, do it here. Just cheaper. And always go to the gas station with the cheapest price.

Me too... in fact, I didn't realize till I went to STX that there are still places that will do it for you!

Law in New Jersey is that drivers cannot pump their own gas. Just find the gas station with the cheapest price and you're good to go. Same in Oregon.
I remember when I much younger the full service stations. Sure miss them 🙁
