The Kwik Trip that I frequent updated two pumps last summer (2023). This particular location has 26 pumps. The 24 pumps that weren't updated have this sticker on them. To date, it's still only 2 out of 26 with dedicated hoses. Pay close attention when scouting stations. It may only be 1 or 2 pumps out of a few dozen with separate hoses.

That`s despicable.

That`s why they have trash cans...

It's not about price, it's about getting the proper fuel.
A couple oz in a tube isn't really going to make that an issue.
But in the past people have heard up to half a gallon could be in the "leftovers" so this test shows it's fortunately not a big deal.

Common Sense can often be misleading, or worse.
There are plenty of things where people said "No duh" for decades or even centuries or even thousands of years. Until someone tested it.
Like it's just common sense to get out of the rain as fast as you can because if you're in the rain too long, you'll catch a cold. Except that's genuinely not how infectious diseases work.
It should be obvious but people believed it for centuries. Until basically someone pointed out that tons of people stay out in the rain all the time and dont get sick from it.
One could make a reasonable assumption that they use that whole hose diameter to deliver the fuel and wonder just how much is actually in the residule.
If you didnt know what the internal structure off that hose was, you'd be making a fairly reasonable and understandable guess.

The things you mention are common ignorance not common sense. Personally, I've literally never thought that being cold makes you susceptible to getting a cold. Why? Common sense.
