It’s not necessarily about germs so much as actual filth. How often do you clean your steering wheel? If you never have and your car isn’t new and hasn’t been detailed, go clean it and report back.

In the same vein, if you ever had a job that involved handling lots of cash money, you know how visibly dirty it makes your hands.

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.

Also in NJ and love it. They only pump gas now though, they don’t was the windshields like they did when I was a kid

I avoid getting gas in NJ even though it’s cheaper.

Stopping for gas there takes too long. I’m quick and like to stretch my legs.

Not at all. I don’t want to have to wait for someone to pump my gas. Nor do I want to pay for it. I’m perfectly capable of pumping my own gas

Oregon was the same until just two years ago.

Right??

I miss having more cashiers and baggers in grocery stores. It was nice to have someone else do some of the work for me. In fact, I remember the baggers asking if we needed help getting our groceries to the car. I broke my arm earlier this year and could have used the help.

Every day, I wake up and thank FSM that I'm not a germophobe.

I hate pumping gas. Earlier, I was thinking about how, back in the 80s, gas attendants were a regular feature at gas stations that my mom always opted for. In addition to being a germaphobe and not wanting to touch a pump that multiple hands have used, I would totally pay for the convenience. Plus, it could put money in the pockets of teens and isn't a job AI will take over. Does anybody else feel the same?
