    My ambivalence about this is how it’ll impact folks who can’t pump their own gas. I’m disabled so having an attendant to pump is so nice, in states without it’s a hassle to call someone out to pump who may not have ever done so or even know that they can do that. Folks even get pissed at having to disrupt work and come out, or even refuse. It’s a barrier that impacts disabled folks access to independent travel. Will this be the fate of Oregon, maybe not immediately but eventually? Great for folks who want to pump their own but for disabled folks who’ve never had this barrier before it’s going to suck.

      Yeah, I’m firmly in the self-service camp for myself, but if you are unable to refuel on your own, this is gonna be a bummer.

      As others have mentioned, we’ll see how well the 50/50 split works.

      Tbf, they just removed the law that forbids you from pumping your own gas, gas station attendants will still exist.
