Oregon ends its 72-year ban on self-service gasoline
newspaper says this leaves New Jersey as the only state remaining to require gas station attendants.
Having pump attendants at the ready is a vestige of the days in which most gas stations offered the option of"full service," even if there was another line of pumps offering self-service. Pumping a flammable liquid was thought to be a bit dangerous for the average motorist. Oregon's clinging to the law also had to do with preserving entry-level jobs; that said, in an economy that is enjoying near-full employment, stations have had a hard time filling these jobs, causing motorists longer waits as a few attendants flit between several pumps. As a result, the oil companies have wanted the law changed.
