Is any other state as backwards as NJ?
If this “bipartisan” bill passes, folks in NJ should see a drop in gas prices. Stations will no longer have to pay gas jockeys.
Oregon has it but it was invented to give out of work lumber industry employees something to do.
Drop? Yeah, I remember back in the 70’s when they gave us a nickel per gallon discount to pump our own gas. Gas was like 69 cents per gal at the time. Not long after it went over a dollar, then two, tree, four, etc. Now crossing five. Obama’s target was ten. Biden’s going for broke. But no min wage high school guys pumping gas or checking oil.
As of this morning Crude Oil is at $111 a barrel. When Biden took office Crude Oil was around $52 a barrel. Gas jockeys are eating into the business ability to stay afloat. So, would NJ then have a problem getting rid of them?
Not NJ. Price at local station 3.73/ gal. Recently, before covid they put a 23 cent tax on gas. That beside the tax that was already on gas.
Around here the stations are unmanned 24/7. Pull up, stick your card in, pump, and be gone.
Imagine all those poor Pump Managers who are a few years away from retiring.
Devastating.
