Gas stations have attendants who get paid to do that. (It was standard practice across the country until around #1977 - #1978, but as far as I know, not legally required.)
Maybe #OR's law was recently changed.- Hallå Kitteh repeated this.

No, I️’m not kidding.
Yes, it’s fucking hilarious.

To be fair, you need to have a very high IQ to enjoy filling up gas. -

Oh, ok. I thought there was a new law forbidding pump assistants, which I thought would be weird, but if they simply removed a law making them mandatory, then I'm all for it. -
