Pump my gas duck!

The comments are hilarious. One reason people don’t want self services is it will kill jobs.

El oh el. Oregonians are fucking stupid.

    Oregon is dumb. The whole having someone pump your gas is antiquated.

    The few tims a year I fill my tank in Oregon I kinda like having someone else do it for me.

    It's like having a butler or a personal chef.

    Moar tim to surf HH, IMO.

    I worked in Oregon for a while and eventually got mostly used to having someone pump my gas. It was about 50/50 between being glad that some other fucker was operating the pump, and being pissed that some fuckhead that moved like molasses was holding me up.

    After a while I found a station I'd fill up on Friday morning at, that had this little Vietnamese dude working there, and he moved like the wind. Roll up, he's at the door, he knows from last time what's going in the tank, and he was on it. No fucking around, and he got you in and out as fast as you could yourself. When the place wasn't busy, we'd chat it up a bit. Dude had 3 jobs, one full time and 2 part time. I asked him why he worked so much, and he came back with "No money, no honey!"

    I hope that dude doesn't lose his job, but being the hard motherfucker he is, he'll probably just go get another one.

    I don;'t have a point. Fuck off.

    I sorta followed it. I'm in agreement. Not sure about what though

    I'm definitely free market on things like this. If they get rid of the law, it's not like every job is lost on day 1. There will still be people who want their University of Oregon grads pumping their gas. And the hard workers will still have a job. Over time the number of jobs will reduce, just like they did in every other State where full service stations mostly went away. And gas stations with mini serve will sell gas at a premium for the service.

    That being said, I drive a diesel and pump my own diesel in Oregon anyway.

    The fact you even consider it as a jobs issue speaks volumes. Fucking moron.
