Pay inside or pre pay only at your gas station. This is a great signal for the amount of trust/criminality in a given area.
Recently, a gas station I regularly use that had a pay inside option no longer does that. It makes me wonder if there were too many incidents of theft or if they just want to be proactive. Either way, there is less trust.
Trust itself is an invaluable thing to have. Not having it is a sign of bad times ahead. And no amount of money makes up for a lost in trust.

Agreed. The Japanese are smart. They've worked hard to become the kind of high trust society everyone envies, and they know that immigration will tear that to shreds.
