I used to pump gas in high school. I would slam Steel Reserve 211's while stocking the cooler then go back out to the pumps drunk. The owners wife would always tell me to pull my pants up.
Surprise surprise... people not actually reading about what the bill is and instead jumping straight to FREAKING OUT.
I had a CFN cardlock card from my dad for years, so I pumped my own gas at deserted gas stations in the middle of nowhere from when I was 18 until maybe 26 or 27. It's no big deal. The only difference is the credit card machines that are attached to most pumps.
I miss having some dude pump my gas for me. Wish I had it last week when the mercury dipped to -14 here and I was outside trying to take my card out of the wallet with my bulky gloves on. People here in the midwest call us Oregonians soft, but they don't know what they're missing.
Geez, this is great! I hate sitting there waiting for someone to finally get around to pumping gas into my rig.
Flava Flav was right about 911 being a joke, at least in Oregon. Only because the whole place is a joke.
People are acting silly about this. It specifically says "in lower population areas" and "option to". It's not about people being lazy. It's about job loss. So what we're saying is in rural areas we are going to lose more jobs.
Going to Cali/Idaho and having to pump your own gas sucks, this is a luxury people don't know they're missing.
Not having to wait to some dude to get to my car is a luxury I prefer. It creates a secondary bottleneck even if you have enough pumps. I honestly do not miss it one bit.
