I just realized Washington is hella close.

I understand what you're saying but I'd rather someone get paid to pump my gas rather than someone get paid to sit at home and do jack shit. (aka unemployment checks)

I'll agree on that, but then again, I don't agree much with the current unemployment/welfare system. ;)

and yet I know motherfuckers dumb enough to get fired for PUMPING GAS wrong

Andy, remember when Lunchbox got fired for putting gas in a Diesel?

Sometimes I fill in for the gas station attendant at my work (Costco) and people are fucking idiots! Yesterday a lady got out of her car lit her cigarette THEN walked away from the pumps.

Sometimes, just to piss people off, I leave my obviously running e30 running and make a phone call while filling up. I'd smoke too, but I can't be bothered to pay for tobacco.

2 fun things: watching Californians try and pump their own, then crossing the northern border and watching Oregonians waiting for an attendant...same over there?

Fire hazard, environmental hazards, property damage, unemployment etc. Lots of things can happen at gas stations. Only in OR and NJ though.

In my view, making a "job" out of pumping gas is a poor economical decision. I would much rather see a society struggle and be forced to become inventive than hand out simple jobs for people who don't want to try.

I've pumped gas all my life, and watched my parents do it. Not once have I witnessed, or heard of a fire. How is it less environmentally damaging if another person does it? I'd hope they are talking about damage to the car, not the button, 3/4" gas hose, and handle.

If it wasn't for Portland, Oregon would just be a waste of space.

Typical SoCal asshole.

I thought it was funny that you cannot pump your own gas. My wife lived in Eugene for a while... I love that city...

[dnova89]

Yeah it's to create more jobs... pretty smart if you ask me.

Adding portland to the list

I spoke to someone in the tourist info in one of the coastal towns, and he said the "you can't pump your own gas in Oregan" thing was brought in to reduce unemployment back in the early 80's IIRC

As stupid as I think it is, our gas is pretty cheap still. And not having to get out of your car in January when the wind is blowing the rain sideways is pretty awesome.

You're shitting me, right? What logic is involved in this?
