As a motorcyclist, this would drive me nuts. I only let an attendant do the job once, and they dribbled all over my tank. How is it that I, a non-attendant, pretty much never spray or spill all over my tank, but the paid experts do?
I get the same feedback when mentioning this to other bikers.
I fully ignore this New Jersey idiocy with my cars and motorcyles, for the very same reason. The pumps are completely identical over there, so you can just pay with your card like in any every normal state.
My uncle started pumping by himself while on vacation. The attendant came running and pulled the nozzle from my uncles hands, spilling diesel all over his shoes.

it's a law that was pushed by the industry to prevent eliminating jobs under the guise of safety issues.
new jersey is the only other state with such a law (and it's even more restrictive than the oregon law was)

Experts is a really loose term when describing a gas station pumper
Petroleum transfer technician. Fuel provisioning coordinator Transportation energy facilitator
Looks better on a resume than minimum wage pump jockey.

This is part of my family lore.
FTFY. The industry is incentivized to reduce cost, politicians are incentivized to increase votes.
