You can pump your own in parts of Oregon now

I spent a week in New Jersey a couple of years ago on business, one of those continuing education training course sort of things, about half the people in the class were relatively local, and one day the topic of not being able to pump your own gas came up. There were some interesting takes on it, but mostly it seemed to be a cultural thing, the attitude of the locals was it gives the teen age kids a place to work, many of them had worked pumping gas themselves as a first job while growing up, and many had kids that did so. So while on one hand they see it as wasteful, on the other they see it as generating a steady supply of easy fairly safe first jobs for their kids.
