      Its not that bad. You dont have to get out when its cold and it helps keeps gas stations safer. I live in NJ and have my whole life. Its a nice way to provide jobs and most places aren't THAT strict about you pumping it yourselves.
      My gas tank level was broken and would shut the pump off all the time. I had to go out and stand there and pump my own gas. I've never been harassed or bothered. But I do talk to them and give them my card and they put in my amount for me.
      Its nice on cold days. You dont have to get out of the car. And sometimes they will wash your windows for you. But thats rare these days. Usually thats the smaller local stations.

  • @Mysticpanda320

    New Jersey native here! I always go straight to the right lane when I’m making a left on a major highway- it’s how I learned to drive lol! Also, I have no clue how to pump my own gas, and I really appreciate the gas pumpers when winter hits lol- I never have to leave the car! I’m also on the coast, so I’m glad you got to see the shore! Of course you can’t see the most beautiful parts in the tourist places, but the dingy beaches from Atlantic City through seaside heights give you the most “jersey shore” experience. Hope you got some fried Oreos or zepoles while you were there- super tasty!! This state is super wacky but was super fun to grow up in- I wouldn’t trade that for the world!

    Dang I didn’t know that Oregon and New Jersey had the same law 😅 Oregon did it because the mayor got gas on him before a meeting and thought that someone else should be paid to have gas spill on them instead of on someone else’s nice clothes 🤷🏼‍♀️ on top of that it provides more jobs for people, also resulting in prices being a little bit more expensive tho.

    As a 9 year local in New Jersey, the idea of the gas station is to not only make it safer but to give more jobs to those who need them. I mean, yes its stupid that its illegal but also you stay cool/warm in your car depending on the season. I hate it here too don't worry but I'm a little mad I missed you. I'm legit all the way down at the bottom.
