At first glance this law from Grants Pass, Oregon seems like a good idea! "It is illegal to pump your own gasoline, if you do you will be assessed a $1,000.00 fine". Now I hate pumping my own gas, I hate the smell, the dirty spouts, the whole entire process. Giving me a great excuse to leave it to a professional seemed like a dream come true! BUT, yea there is a but, on further thought I have changed my mind. Not all guys pumping gas would love their job like Steve Martin did in the movie, "The Jerk"!.If we had to rely on someone making minimum wage that didn't exactly need an education to put peg one in slot b...how enthusiastic would they be at their job. Filling your tank with gas could take longer. And you also would feel obligated to give the poor Guy a tip!
