I lived in Oregon and thought it astounding I couldn't pump my own gas. I was told there was one other state that did the same thing. In New England?
I asked several owners why we had the law, and none really knew.
Stupid law? UBETCHA

New Jersey and I love it. I can sit in the car when the wind in howling and the rain is hitting my windshield and just let someone else do it.

The other state would be New Jersey.
Curiously this forced full service has a perverse affect that it encourages people to stay in these low paying jobs as they are always there. Job security is never threatened as the positions are required by law. So now we have a class of people that are dependant on the law. I consider it a form of welfare.

I remember pumping my own gas in the late eighties at three in the morning....the guy started yelling at me and I said it was his fault for sleeping.
