Isn't that the way, they convinced people they'd save money
by pumping their own gas. There was talk of changing the law
here in jersey and people were up in arms. Thanks, but no thanks.

Perhaps it's gotten easier with card swiping, but I've pumped my own
gas over the years and it's a pain in the neck. At least when you're
used to a nice person coming over and taking care of it for you.
