Oregon's Senate has repealed a 72-year prohibition against self-service gas, with new legislation requiring gas stations to staff half the available pumps, while allowing the rest to be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

I live in Oregon and moved here from a self pump state, personally I love not getting out of my car to pump gas. Doubly so when it's shitty out. I hope most places around here keep the gas pump people. They probably will tbh because native Oregonians would have a fit, especially old timers.
