1. We're getting away with it in Oregon.

The highly skilled technicians are saved for pumping gas.

2. I remember when an attendant pumped gas for me.

1973 maybe?

5. My mother-in-law went to a gas station that would pump her gas

into the mid 80s at least. She paid a high premium, but thought it “unladylike” to pump her own gas.

7. I remember riding with my father. The gas guy would wash your

Windows and check your oil. The world changes. We get screwed.

8. Yep. They'd check the air in your tires, too.

They would have checked your windshield washer fluid, but nobody had that when gas was 23 cents a gallon.

10. Everybody thinks it's a great deal to check out your own

Groceries. The supermarket doesn't pay us but we're the help.

3. Hahahaha

4. Hope unleaded electricity will be available, and no problem if occasionally

a lower-grade electricity than specified is used. Don't want Texas low voltage electricity sold to the national grid as it searches for ways to pay off its power debt from the previous winter.

This recharging needs some planning and controls.

6. Figure it out. It's not that difficult.

9. LOLOLOLOL!

My daughter, from DC!, pumped gas for her NJ-ite college classmates, who'd never done it before, when they happened upon out-of-state 'service' centers.
