Not a government worker, just an employee of the gas station. It's literally illegal to get out of your car and put gas in it. Stunning, truly, and the peeps in Oregon are scared of this law going away. SMH... Nanny's gonna come over and spoon feed them their dinner, too, and change their diaper when they makes a poop.
But who do they really hire to do that job? When it's government mandated, no competition, that's not full service, that's just a panhandling scam being sanctioned by the state, that's not a qualified professional, it's just a scammer, ergo, subhuman cockroach.

The GOP should pass a federal law allowing you to run them over forwards and then back over them again.

You can shoot a man in Texas, for taking socks off your wash line, after he dropped the socks, while he's running away... but you can't run these commie panhandling scammers over with your truck?

Ain't right.

It's a state-mandated "window washing" scam.

That's exactly what it is, and I'd bet it's those same people who pull that scam, who are the ones menacing you if you try to pump your own gas, I would tell them to step the fuck off, before they have to meet Mr. Smith & Mr. Wesson, this is America, don't fuck around, scammer.

Oh, one dude freaked the fuck out when I first tried to pump gas in Oregon. I had no idea. This dude was acting like I was going to blow up the gas station.

Might as well pay people to operate the elevator buttons again too, while they're at it.

The whole country is trying to fire service employees in favor of self-service and these two states are going broke with state-mandated scam work.

Still failing to see a downside lol, other than people won’t know how to pump their own gas, but turns out we covered that by hiring technicians to do it. Thanks for the concern though.

I guess if you point at workers and say cockroaches that’s supposed mean socialism or something. Oh no! Lulz, and Kath, there are people who wipe asses for a living, and I’m guessing in your experience for recreation as well. Don’t be hatin.

It is commie socialism, but even in commie socialist Canada we wouldn't cotton that sort of scam, step the fuck off, scammer, you're not touching my car with your grubby little crab claws, there might be gun control in Canada, but I can still beat you to a pulp with this hockey stick.

The scam is working out excellent for the economy, the customers, the workers, who’s losing out? The DIY pumpers? Go to California then, and take any outlanders with you while you’re at it.

Yeah, you're not touching my Jeep. Fuck you and fuck this work program. If you are going to pay people to work, pay them to do useful work.

Also, gas stations operate on such low margins as it is. Fucking with gas station owners is fucking low.

Freedom baby, if I want full service, I'll decide, if it's a commie socialist scam imposed by the state, that's a casus belli, you have to make the leftists pay a dear price for trying to run these scams, something they love, one of their sacred cows, social security, medicare, environmental laws, whatever, pick one, burn it to the ground. They take hostages, the right has to take hostages to deter them.
