It is not apples and oranges, both types of business have instituted these rules for the exact same reasons. There are still gas stations that don't require prepay, you just have to seek them out. If having a business assume that you are stealing bothers you so much, then why don't you boycott gas station that also assume that you are stealing by requiring you to prepay? If you're going to boycott stores that don't allow you to bring your bag in with you, then you should, logically, boycott gas station that won't let you pump your gas and then come in to pay. The principle behind both policies is identical.
So if all stores suddenly start requiring you to leave your bags at the front desk/counter/customer service desk, would you suddenly start obeying, simply because there is no choice in the matter?
