New rule at gas stations?
Is there a new rule that states a foreign man has to be yelling into a cell phone while he pumps your gas? Cause lately that's been the case for me at multiple stations all over NJ...

I don't care if it is or not. People pumping are not trained fuel transfer technicians and I am generally more careful about not getting fuel on the car or ground and I have to pump gas at work anyway so it is a stupid "law"

I always pull up, get out and give the  . I normally remove the nozzle myself and make sure they hang up the fuel cap properly. God help them if they just let that cap dangle....

^ Yes! I hate that too. I normally pump my own or at the very least hook the pump up to my car, so the attendant can swipe his access card.

we use diesel on dump bodies so asphalt doesnt stick to it.
frowned upon by many though..

Thank you! But I am impressed at how many of our esteemed members know how to pump their own gas!
