I live in NJ and the reason they won't change the law is because thousands of gas station attendants would lose their jobs.

i'm not worried. there's going to be other positions available.
and it only affects towns/citys that have 40k or more people.

Its official. Oregon is full of mentally defective, full grown children, incapable of the most mundane of adult task,

That sums it up pretty well.

I couldn't even imagine someone coming out to pump gas for me.

I guess this exists still because of the cold?

There's plenty of states colder than NJ and OR that let you pump your own gas

I went to highschool in NJ, so when I went to Georgia I too freaked out the first time I filled up as I had no idea what I was doing. I mean it took me all of 30 seconds to figure it out, but that first time I was thinking I would have no idea what to do and look like an idiot.

I lived in Portland for a year and it was pretty annoying; they really didn't like it if you tried to pump your own gas. It could be nice if it was raining heavily, but otherwise it was just unnecessary.

I don't understand how pumping gas should be considered a career. Liberals are all about " higher education", but can't admit the job of pumping gas is completely not needed in 2018?

I guess...maybe kids off in the summer could pump gas...but do you really want some kid pumping your gas that doesn't know anything about gas, cars, or ANYTHING?

It's a job that doesn't need to exist. These people need to get other jobs.

Funny thing too, I remember liberals saying that we can't prop up the coal industry just for the sake of coal workers keeping their jobs. Those people need to get with the times and stop impeding progress.

But I guess they'll fight to stop people from pumping their own gas. Lmao.

What does this have anything to do with liberals? This is more "Oregonians are scared of doing something non-Oregonians have been doing for years". It's not a political thing, it's a regional thing.

They're so lenient at the gas stations here I don't think they even monitor their cameras. I've walked up to pay and before I even tell them what pump I was on they're like "Have a nice day."

from the responses I've seen on Twitter, Oregonians believe everyone has to get out of the car and you have to fight off transients while pouring gas on yourself while filling your tank.

There is 0 risk to using a cellphone while pumping. Dude probably left his car running

I can see it being useful if you are an old person that can't lift the gas pump... Ah hell, who am I kidding, that pump weights less than five pounds. However, I don't see how it would lower jobs. Wouldn't you still need an attendant there if people use cash?

No, you have to go to the attendant at the convenience store to pay cash.

Gas station attendants are always outside by the pumps.
