For over a decade the Socialist Republic of Oregon passed a state law prohibiting drivers from filling their tanks at a service station.

I believe that it was put into effect during the severe recession/depression they had in the late 1980's early 1990's to create jobs for the less than room temp iqers.

On our vacation up on the Oregon Coast last month, we ran into a new wrinkle. We pulled into a service station to fill up the Bronco and unfill our bladders in Bandon, Oregon.

The guy asked for my credit card, and I replied fill it up first as we need to go the rest rooms and I will give you me credit card. When I got back two of them were standing looking at the Bronco and us with a real low iq look. I said how much do I owe you. They said that they had to use my credit first to pump gas.

I handed the card to him and he stuck into the slot in the pump and when the okay came he stuck the nozzle into the tank and started pumping it. It was all that my wife and I could do not break into total laughter.

On this trip up, most of the gas pumpers don't clean the windows nor check your oil/fluids. They just take your credit card and pump the gas. I have a combo lock on my gas tank cap, and now they will not even put the gas cap back on the tank if it has a combination.

Oregon is a lab of what can go wrong when the communists, socialists and Watermelon envirals are in charge with no sane adults. Their next goal is Health insurance like Great Britain and Canada for everyone in Oregon. This is inspite of a state that has the highest unemployment rate in the nation and is classified as being in a depression not a recession.
