Oregon’s Senate has repealed a 72-year prohibition against self-service gas, with new legislation requiring gas stations to staff half the available pumps, while allowing the rest to be self-service. The bill, responding to industry staffing shortages, also prohibits charging more for full-service than self-service, likely leading to the phasing out of full-service pumps.
Smell that? That’s the smell of FREEDOM.
And the smell of gas because I’ve never learned how to pump and it’s all over the ground please send help.
… you stick it in your car, pull the lever, and wait for it to stop on it’s own … hardly needs learning.
I was doing it before I was 12 because my mother was disabled. If you can’t figure it out, you might be an idiot.
Honestly these days it’s trivial to look up how to do something. I get that not everyone is technically inclined, but it’s just as easy to look the next car over and watch what they are doing.
I have more trouble figuring out why the pump won’t read my card than putting the gas in my car.
