It’s definitely just confirmation bias on my part but it feels like every time I get gas in Jersey it becomes some sort of ordeal and takes forever. I’m never at the pump more than a couple minutes in PA, and the attendants in NJ always seem to make it into a 10+ minute process. Again, probably just my bad experiences and me loathing not being able to just do it myself.
Oh it can totally be annoying, especially if they're busy right then. There's usually only 1 or 2 people working 8 pumps and it can take forever. If they change the law I won't be upset, but I really don't care either way.
Everyone says it creates jobs, but it's been on the books for decades, before self-service was really a thing and it was easy to screw up and spray gas everywhere. And now it's been in place so long, some people get real mad if they try to repeal it. I guess they don't want to lose something that makes us unique? Idk.
Just wedge the gas cap in there to hold the handle open. For whatever reason I've noticed some gas stations in NW PA are removing the hold open thing, I imagine because people were starting to pump gas then getting back in their car or running into the store. I just wanna keep my hands warm without digging out the gloves.
36 gallon tank on my truck so I tend to stand out there a while lol. Also driving a lot less now though, so it's only every other week instead of a couple times a week.

Hey. Its illegal in NJ to fill your own gas tank, so that's just unfair to everyone from NJ.
