There's usually a standing puddle of gasoline in front of at least one pump
and the place reeks of gasoline by comparison to even a truck stop gas
station in Oregon. This isn't to say that even the career gas pumpers don't
occasionally spill, at least here they're required to clean up gas spills
quickly. Even then, seeing kitty litter or a spill kit in use or a puddle of
gas is the exception and not the rule at mini-serve stations.
In 20 years of pumping gas around the Vancouver, BC area, I've never
once seen a standing puddle of gas at any gas station, and I've only
seen kitty litter covered spills a handful of times.
