Oregon’s Senate has repealed a 72-year prohibition against self-service gas, with new legislation requiring gas stations to staff half the available pumps, while allowing the rest to be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.

    Nah, there are people that really need those jobs. The guy at my local station has a brain injury, but he kicks ass a pumping gas quickly. Dude is in great shape from constantly running from pump to pump. Some people need a simple job and that’s fine.
