New Jersey and Oregon

[GeneralHankerchief]

I probably asked this before, but whereabouts you from, GH? And I don't have a solid answer but I vaguely remember someone telling me it was enacted because someone pumping their own gas started a fire or something. So classic New Jersey nanny-statism, but one I don't really care about.

I grew up in Cherry Hill.

And I don't mind it too, although it is slightly annoying when the pumpers round up. Last summer, back when prices were ridiculous, you were paying enough as it is. I remember asking a guy to fill it up and it comes to something like $XX.40 and the guy takes it all the way to the next dollar. That's wrong on more than a few levels.

That is Jersey's version of "self service".

Nothing like the continuation of useless jobs.



The pumpers should at least be required to dress up like pimps when they're showing you how to properly handle them hose.



"Texaco, where's my ten percent. You watch here BP. Let me show you what happens when a hose don't listen to her pump!"
