Yeah it sucks but it's not like NJ people ever asked for this. There's literally a gas station attendant lobby that convinced politicians to pass law to protect their jobs by making it illegal to pump your own gas

The worst is when you pull up to some gas station and the attendant is out in lunch break and you just have to sit there twiddling your thumbs waiting for someone to pump your gas

Even worse is when you get a chatty attendant who wants to have a conversation while you just want to get gas and gtfo

Is it illegal if I just pump the gas onto the ground instead of my car?

That would probably get him off his ass.

Hasn't Oregon been that way for awhile? I thought I remember hearing years ago all of their stations were full serve.

A lot of my family lives in NJ, so when they visit us in a different state, it's the first thing they complain about

wtf? How is this a thing? Also gas stations already have low profit margins from gas alone. How can they afford these employees?

Supposedly, the other benefit of making pumping your own gas illegal is that gas stations end up paying way, way less on insurance than in the rest of the country. The idea, at least on paper, is that having a trained attendant who is an employee of the company handling the gas at all times means there is far less risk of injury or accident from people being stupid.

Yeah, I'd hate driving through one of those states. Get out to put gas in like a normal adult and some one comes up like "no sir, here let me do it!" No thanks! Lol
