All that ink attacked the few brain cells she had left
I haven't been to Oregon since the 90's and every time I would get gas, I would attempt to pump it myself and then somebody would stop me and tell me that it's not allowed, and that they would have to do it for me. It seemed like a good way to create jobs for High School kids and maybe somebody putting themselves through college.
Now I'm enjoying all the meme's and twitters that are being posted about it. I have no idea how much of it is true, and how much is humor based on some extreme examples, but either way, it's funny.

As always, any time Oregon makes the news, it's never for anything good. We're getting slagged off pretty good for a mostly fake story, i.e., that full service will be going away in these areas. It's primarily for those areas that have equipped their pumps with card readers and don't operate 24 hours, as a convenience for the rural communities who often can't operate around the station's schedule. And for the hatchet-faced Portlandia WTU types, you can sit at the pump all night and shiver in your car until the station opens, no one is taking that right away from you.
And by the way, we have always had self-service here, it's called Pacific Pride. If you can qualify for their commercial volume, you can fuel up at any of their many stations, which are almost always empty. Cost is a bit higher than other stations, but most commercial ops pass it on anyway.
