Can you imagine a petrol station such as this in South Africa?

Talking about petrol can lead to mental health issues and anxiety attacks these days, and we mean that in the most humble of ways. 

We can understand how stressful it is thinking about how you are going to get from one place to another, with the ever rising cost of petrol. 

So to see how things work in the United States of America, leaves us with some appreciation for what we have. 

After singer, songwriter, and producer named Robin shared a video on TikTok, it left many South Africans with a different perspective. 

He shared how you fill up your own vehicle with fuel in the US. 

As he parks and gets out of the car, another person, who also sounds South African, asks him what he is doing. Then we see him inserting his bank card into the petrol pump.
