'It’s bad enough we are expected to check out our own groceries now in most stores, but now gas too. We keep getting jobs we aren’t getting paid for and never applied for,' resident Micky Garus wrote in a Facebook post.

The chicoms will invade there first.

Twenty or so years ago while in Oregon and not knowing the law, I got out of the car to pump gas and yelled at the gas station worker that was running to the pump.

We went there about six years ago. I was quite confused.

Like watching the guy do it like a thousand times wasn’t a sufficient tutorial?? Maybe OR was onto something after all.

Its iffy. There’s a lot of evidence as to why its necessary for NJ people not to pump their own gas. At the same time NJ is also a totalitarian liberal state, so...

Hard to decide.

That leaves New Jersey as the only US state that prohibits motorists from pumping their own gas.

Weren't we talking about this recently?

Kacy Willson, 32, who has lived in Oregon her whole life, said she doesn't have much interest in pumping her own gas. She's only tried it a few times in her life.

Well, hello Karen.

There went the good old days for Oregonians. I remember in California when the attendant would pump your gas, check your oil, and not expect a tip. But I am showing my age.

They’ve allowed people to pump their own gas in low-population areas of the state for a number of years now.

“That leaves New Jersey as the only US state that prohibits motorists from pumping their own gas. “

Holy Scripture in the Garden State includes this mysterious passage: Jersey girls don’t pump gas.

So there’s that.

When will the Fascist State of New Jersey follow suit. Not having self-service gas pumps is like not having self-service urinals in the restrooms or self-service telephones. At some point in time, people need to learn some self-reliance.

Many are bewildered by freedom.

I might choose full service from time to time, if it were offered here. It’s not against the law. I can only assume that there are so few takers, there just isn’t a market.

ROFL!!

I have to admit it was fun going to Oregon for lunch and just sitting in the car, like old times.

I’m here in the pit of enemy territory.

Self-serve is as weird to me as the converse described by others. I don’t mind it, but I certainly don’t care for it being forced upon me.

Regardless, consider this in the face of all the controversy, including the ‘make work’ argument in favor of self-serve by our friendly, Conservative regional radio hosts:

We have among the highest prices for fuel in the nation and this change won’t affect the prices at all. Across the river, in WA that jackass Inslee added a full ONE DOLLAR to each gallon of fuel for his carbon scheme; I predict OR will have that by the end of the year.

So, despite all the mocking & critique, now I’ve got to get out of my car to fuel my vehicle with NO BENEFIT WHATSOEVER, and neither an available option for full service (which I’d likely opt for just to avoid the busy, cut-rate stations).

Thanks for nothing, Kotex and Salem Circus.

Portland, maybe. The roads elsewhere argue against invading.

There’s going to be a lot of frustration as Oregonians try and figure out which way to turn that gas cap.

Would a Chinese invasion get rid of the liberals?

Because right now you can shake a Douglas Fir and 40 white progressive idiots will fall out.

Gas prices in Oregon will now decline by 1 cent a gallon, but if you want full service it will now cost 20 cents a gallon extra.

Spent a lot of time on motorcycles in Oregon. They always let you pump your own gas if you are on a motorcycle, but you had to give them your credit card and let them put it into the pump.....lol! Crazy man, I’m glad they are allowing self-serve now for everybody.

As a California vassal state, I don’t think there is enough mental capacity for native motorists to pump their own gas. They will be pumping gas into their EVs, their engines, and on the ground. Not safe at all. Side with the union here.
