Ha ha. NJ resident here. I love not having to pump gas!


Op here, and I didn't realize this was still a thing in Jersey. As much as business people like to be progressive, sometimes reverting to how things were can be groundbreaking. In wealthier areas here, this would be a hit. People pay for convenience.


It’s not just a thing for wealthier areas, t’s literally a law state-wide in NJ that you cannot pump your own gas- full stop.

I personally find it annoying and draconian but sounds like it would be a win for you.


I never understood why it was a law in NJ. In Maryland, back in the 80s, certain lanes were full-service, while the others were self-service. That would be a good option for those who prefer not to have someone else pump.

I grew up in Ohio in the 80s and we also had both choices.

I carry Clorox wipes in my glove compartment specifically for the gas pumps, and not making contact with my hands while I pump gas. A relative of mine carries disposable gloves.

Does NJ require a charging station attendant?

I’ve always wondered what kind of people want someone else to pump gas for them. You look exactly as I had imagined.

No, it's not happening. Carry hand sanitizer.

I keep mine in one of door cup holders, but my vehicle has like three cup holders in the door.

I only wish for it when there is bad weather. I’d happily pay.

It’s a service and no different from valet parking.

Oh, get over yourself. It was standard operating procedure for years, and was an honorable job.

Many stores still bag and help you to your car. Some Whole Foods. Mom's.

It’s the union lobby in NJ that has fought to keep the law on the books.

In the 80s most places nationwide used to have a full service option but these days, absent a law requiring it, there just isn’t enough demand to justify hiring staff to offer a full service option. (Which not only costs more but also takes longer.)

Oh god no, it would just be one more person asking for a tip.
