Is there any more stupid and obsolete of a law than the law that Oregon and New Jersey have on full serve gas? And no, it's not a convenience, especially when stations are busy.
>self serve
>get out of car
>begin pumping gas
>gas pump stops
>place pump back
>leave
>Full serve in NJ
>attendant takes 30sec-2min to waddle over
>slowly begins pumping gas
>walks away
>gas stops pumping
>wait 2-3 minutes for the attendant to walk back over
>slowly puts gas cap back on and presses button for receipt
>HE GETS PAID TO MAKE THE PROCESS OF FILLING LESS EFFICIENT

Id love to get a good full service station, in fiction they seem so comfy, in real life theyre staffed by smelly indians, dodgy fuckers who dont care and teens who are too busy on instagram to care.

I'm an American who lived in Japan for a few years.
Fellow technician at work tells me story of a guy who lived in Oregon with a diesel truck. Fuck stick attendant put gas in it. He refused to start it, for fear of grenading the fuel system. Had to have it towed to shop across street and fuel drained.

>>14566763
They're not fast in Jersey. I'm much faster if I was allowed to full serve in Jersey.
>>14566829
They used to have a good full serve station near me in New York, one guy manning two pumps. Very friendly, cleaned your windows, always quick. New Jersey gas stations are NEVER like that.
>>14566878
This is what small claims court was invented for (or if in excess of $3K, a good old fashioned lawsuit).
>>14566889
OP here, I did it once when no attendant came for five minutes. They caught me as I was finished pumping. They said "you can't do that", my reply was "Too late". Drove off.
>>14566890
They're real fucking lazy about curb distance in jersey. And even when the NJ Turnpikes stations "LONG HOSES - USE BOTH SIDES" (to say that you can use a pump that is opposite the side of your fuel flap), the attendants are such lazy cunts that they usually refuse.
>>14566903
I've been scolded for doing this before.
>>14566922
>busy station
>somehow faster than opening your door and pumping yourself
>>14566924
New Jersey doesn't get that cold for it to be a serious factor. You can get in and out of your car while gas is pumping, you just have to make sure to touch a metal surface far from the fuel flap as you go back to close the fuel tank once it's done filling.
>>14566929

>>14567059
It isn't any state in the southeast.
What happens if you try to pump your own gas?
It's a bittersweet thing, coming from nj
In the winter and when it's raining, it's lovely since I can stay warm in my car. Or if not, I have a couple minutes to choose what I want to listen to. And of course it provides jobs.
On the other hand, it can be a major inconvenience when the attendant is slow. Where I live, they're all pretty fast and I've only had them be slow once or twice though. This is why I always fill up the day before I go somewhere so it doesn't inconvenience me. I like 'em.

After growing up in cali and moving to oregon, I'm a fan of gas station attendants. Gas is still cheaper here, and it's nice to have a bit of a chat with someone, especially on a roadtrip. If you're really freaking out about an extra 2 or 3 minutes added to your drive, you should have planned better
>>14567116
Is not a danger thing, it's a job thing.
>>14567086
They tell you to stop. If a cop comes its usually a fine
>>14566921

Not in North Jersey it's not. Southern states are much cheaper.

>The state Department of Labor and Workforce Development, which has the job of enforcing all aspects of the state full service gas law, hasn't issued a ticket in the last two years to an over-anxious driver who pumped their own gas.
>>14567151
Cali is more expensive because of the special fuel blend they require, plus taxes. Gas would be even cheaper with the attendants.
>>14567116
Before pumps automatically stopped when the tank was full, it actually was if people weren't careful and gas started spilling everywhere.

Oregon fag here, the stations in my area are never all that busy because the poor people all use the arco for the meth Olympics. It's nice when on long road trips to get out and pump my own but around town it's no big deal, my car also doesn't have a traditional gas cap so they can't fuck up.
>>14566745
Dont know how it is in NJ, in Oregon it was nice, calm, and quick.
Visited friends there, was getting gas. Single attended in a small town, came over very quickly, worked fast. Removed the gas cap, asked for amount, and grade, came back quickly soon as it finished pumping.
Stupid as "law" but I didnt feel much of a problem with it.
And I never tipped, or was asked.
Guess that the nice thing about small town in Oregon. Only white people
>>14567013
First, I doubt she thought it was water. It was winter, and gasoline melts snow like no other. It would be more retarded to pour water on your car than gas in winter.
Also, just cause its full service, that wont prevent you from pumping your own gas.
>>14568283
you don't tip the gas man. it's not customary.
>>14567924

NJ is shit. All the cars around here have busted evaporative emissions systems and paint damage because attendants are retards. When I have to go back into NJ to visit family, I make sure I have enough gas to get out of the state before I need to refuel. Fuck New Jersey.
>>14567070
This is actually true.
>>14568302
Every time I go to arco it's an arab yelling "you pay inside!" Fuck it I'll just steal my Mom's Safeway rewards.
>>14567678
Unless the attendant's a cunt, you could probably just hand them the bottle of oil and tell them to put it in with the fuel.
Only I pump gas in my car. Gas cap is behind the license plate, has a lock cap and the tube is at such as angle that the pump doesn't turn off in time and you can overfill the tank.
>>14566745
I live in Richmond, BC where full serve is mandatory because of the high chinese population (they don't know anything about cars, look up richmond learns to park on Facebook, it's top kek). I always tell the attendant that I'll be fine, and I get out to pump my gas. Since my fuel filler is completely horizontal, I know they will spill gas all over my rear fender. I want to be the only one to do anything to my car. I don't even let the scrubs wash my windows.

>>14566745
Fuck anyone who wants to get rid of full service. Yes, I definitely want to stand out in the cold/heat and get gasoline smell all over my hands and clothes, after waiting ten minutes for the idiot in front of me to fucking figure out how the pump works. Sounds fucking wonderful.
It never takes more than 15 seconds for an attendant to come to my car, by the way. Try a different station.
>>14572914
>can't handle the elements
>can't handle a minute amount of dirt
You are the antithesis of what it means to be a man.
So let me get this straight: there are no (prohibited by law) self-serve gas stations in these two state? Anywhere? As a Canadian I find this extremely odd, considering we're the ones who over-regulate everything.
What the actual fuck.
>>14567202
I live in Warren County and I get gas for about $1.40.
>>14567439
I'm glad we have that reputation. Keeps the retard tourists out of our beautiful forests, farmland and beaches. (Except for Pennsyltuckyans and smelly Staten Islanders.) Otherwise we'd be like Maine.

Yeah but your journalists are also kidnapped en masse and executed, and you routinely have piles of bodies or human heads appearing in public places. Not sure that sexy TV outweighs these things, especially with the advent of the internet.
>>14566745
Is this just a law in certain counties are something?
I drove through oregan and pumped my own gas, I was almost disappointed i didn't get the full service experience
>>14572978
It's state-wide, but I think Oregon recently changed their laws so self-service is now permitted.
You can theoretically get fined in NJ for pumping your own gas, because it takes work away from the uneducated, braindead fuckwit working at the gas station.
>>14566763
It must be from all the radiation.
>>14572965
>Yeah but your journalists are also kidnapped en masse and executed, and you routinely have piles of bodies or human heads appearing in public places.
It's called getting rid of undesirables. Then again I don't find it surprising that you can't handle the fact we actually get rid of people useless to society instead of getting on all fours and taking it up the ass like your country is doing now with that SJW-as-fuck president/prime minister you have right now.

Which are taken by indians brought over by the stations owner from buttfuckistan thereby removing a source of income for the young teens it was meant to put to work.
