For the first time in more than seven decades, drivers in Oregon are allowed to pump their own gas.

      My son used work as a gas attendent years ago in NJ, and he was paid a little above minimum wage. Sometimes he would get tips.

      That’s interesting. I’ve seen all kinds of people you wouldn’t tip elsewhere routinely be tipped in the USA. So I assumed as someone performing a service they would be included.

      Amecdotal experience incoming…

      I used to pump gas in NJ at a Wawa. I got paid around $9 an hour in the early 2000s. At Wawa at least, the gas attendants get paid the same as the inside staff.

      Tips were always appreciated, but never expected.
