self-serve station
Automated customer service point
A self-serve station is a setup where customers handle tasks themselves without staff assistance—pumping gas, checking out groceries, or filling drinks.
The term emphasizes the physical location: The self-serve station was out of receipt paper.
Gas stations with self-serve pumps are sometimes called self-serve stations even when they offer other services.
