This ^^^
I think the actual solution to this pain point is to cut out the c-store entirely.
Gasoline delivery. An app where you punch in the location of your car (parking lot at work for instance), the app already contains your license plate number and automatic payment after your initial setup, and then they fill your car for you.
The problems with that are access to the gas tank (internal releases), gasoline margins, and government restrictions.
However, if the tech exists to let Amazon into your home for deliveries, the tech certainly exists to let someone securely into your car...it just has to be implemented. Government restrictions are a pain, but doable with current metering and transportation laws.
The biggest issue is margin. How much more per gallon would people pay?
This already failed once but it does not mean it couldn't be a winner in the future. Or even bring a charge to any car that is electric.
