Oregon’s Senate has repealed a 72-year prohibition against self-service gas, with new legislation requiring gas stations to staff half the available pumps, while allowing the rest to be self-service. The bill, responding to industry staffing shortages, also prohibits charging more for full-service than self-service, likely leading to the phasing out of full-service pumps.
Yup, only place I’ve ever waited for gas (outside of a hurricane or blizzard being imminent) is in NJ. Then they always try to divert me into a lane with the pump on the wrong side which I’ll have none of because I know they’ll just drag a dirty rubber hose across my paint, it’s bad enough that they touch my car at all. (Though I realize that’s mostly a me issue)
