Oregon's Senate has repealed a 72-year prohibition against self-service gas, with new legislation requiring gas stations to staff half the available pumps, while allowing the rest to be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 was doing it before I was 12 because my mother was disabled. If you can’t figure it out, you might be an idiot.

    Honestly these days it's trivial to look up how to do something. I get that not everyone is technically inclined, but it's just as easy to look the next car over and watch what they are doing.

    I have more trouble figuring out why the pump won't read my card than putting the gas in my car.
