There's like 2-3 idiot attention whore girls on social media and the world thinks there's an actual issue, or just wants an easy joke target. Anyway I think they have only done it in some rural counties and major cities have no change but I'd just as soon it all be done away with because I heard the original no-customer-pumping law started in order to "create jobs". If a gas station has to hire someone else they are going to raise prices so who wins. Anyway I don't miss pumping it and after a while it does feel like a luxury to not have to do it and sit there in your car and be served.

Sure, the station needs to get more money, but if it creates jobs, the STATE can lower their gas tax. Since it's their law, link the two.

New Jersey has always disallowed customer pumping, and has lower taxes on gasoline -- low enough that the prices are lower here than in surrounding states.

(No, that isn't a good reason to live here.)

I've lived in both NJ and OR.

Both states suck for completely different reasons.

Try Illinois where corrupt politics is bankrupting us.
