Comment on Oregon Legalizes Self-Gas Pumpingparent

Comments

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.

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.

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.

This is part of my family lore.
