I think a reason Oregon makes attendants pump your gas is to inflate their employment numbers. Now with minimum wage going up, the state realizes that rural station can’t pay the extra cost.

the quotes in this one killed me.

“I don’t even know HOW to pump gas and I am 62, native Oregonian . . . I say NO THANKS! I don’t like to smell like gasoline!” one woman wrote.

“No! Disabled, seniors, people with young children in the car need help. Not to mention getting out of your car with transients around and not feeling safe. This is a very bad idea. Grrr,” another woman wrote.

“I’ve lived in this state all my life and I REFUSE to pump my own gas . . . This [is] a service only qualified people should perform. I will literally park at the pump and wait until someone pumps my gas.”

It's a blackeye for Oregon, IMO
