Oregon, no self service- state law

It is weird to have someone pump your gas. I remember as a kid , it was cool to pump the gas in to the car. not any more

Same thing in the Garden State.
No self serve.

I honestly did not know that there was a law in some states prohibiting self serve.

Can't remember the last time I saw an attendant at a gas station. I was a part-time pump jockey back in college, and that was in the early 70's.

I remember being out with my Dad, and him pulling his big sedan into Poust's Service Station. Two, sometimes three, uniformed attendants (with caps) swarmed over his car; filling his tank, checking his oil, water, and wiper fluid levels, and even his tire pressure. Two bucks gave us the service and 8 gallons of gas.

Just reminiscin'.......
