I go for the tax free shopping. Sales tax is almost 9% in Washington. Also, they pump your gas for you.
Yep.
Stopped at a gas station in Portland once. I got out to fill up the rental car.
Guy standing there says, “What the heck do you think you’re doing?”
I told him I was putting gas in the car.
He told me that only gas station employees can put gas into a car in Oregon.
I asked him if he washed the windows and checked the tires, too.
He said no.
“People in Oregon know how to do that themselves.”
I said,
“Well, two out of three is a passing score I guess.”
No free pop refill that day.
