Oregon finally joined 48 other states in allowing their residents to pump their own gas. Leaves Jersey as the only state where it is illegal to pump your own gas. Many Oregon residents were thinking they would die from having to pump their own gas. Others look at it as a business opportunity
WTF. You mfs haven't been doing your own gas? It's illegal?! This has to be a joke right? I was a 7 year old kid dead winter pumping gas for my parents in 5 degree weather, thought nothing of it, and these sons a bitches are banned from doing it?! WHAT? LOLOLOL Edit: omg it's real. I can't believe it's real. I'm not being pranked right? How is this a real thing? Lol I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.
Not your fault. Only 2 states was like this. Oregon and NJ. It wasn't widespread anyway. I moved to USA in 2004 but have been visiting USA since 1999. I first visited Florida then Illinois then Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina. I pumped my own gas at all these states while I was renting my cars. When we first started to live in NJ we found out that we can't fill our own gas. I got used to it though. Now I am lazy. When I travel now, I hate the idea of pumping my own gas. NJ has it right. All other states are wrong. Lol.
Lol that's crazy man. So you just roll down your window, tell them how much, then you turn off the car and wait? How do you pay?
Yeah. Pretty much just like you described. You roll down your window either hand the attendant your credit card or tell him you will pay cash. After the gas fills up, attendant hands you the credit card back and receipt and some people tip the attendant some people don't.
Well I always tip $1 or $2 depending on my change situation. But I know folks who don't. If you want snacks you either go inside the store and shop while your car is being filled or you wait until your car is filled up then move your car, park and go inside the store to shop.
I used to work at a gas station probably 37 years ago or so, back when NY you still could choose between full serve and self serve. I'd say 70% would give you some kind of tip but we would also offer to check the oil and clean the windshield. I'm guessing with it being a rarity now and gas prices much higher probably less tipping going on
