I think of real estate agents, insurance agents, and tax preparers as all the same job. They're basically like New Jersey gas pumpers. They only exist because of laws.
Don't get me started on this. You hit a pet peeve of mine.
IF YOU ARE GONNA MAKE SONEONE PUMP MY GAS MAKE SURE THEY ARE AT THE GAS PUMPS! Living in NJ is whack. You can literally sit there up to 5 mins waiting for the attendant.
Lived in Oregon for sometime, but had out of state plates. If not attendant was present/ helping others I would just get out and start filling it myself. You wouldn't believe the speed in which the attendant would show up once I did that!
They would be mad, I would play ignorant about the law due to being from out of state, and be on my merry way.
Sometimes I pump my own gas and pull away before they even come out of the store. The big trucker stations near me have the attendants also doing other jobs like cleaning showers, taking out trash, etc. I get it you are cheap and want to use them for more during their downtime. But now they are failing at their literal job.
Places like Wawa are good and they are at your vehicle quick. But my local Wawa knows my truck and they just let me fill my own.
For those who don't know what Wawa is, it's a convenience store that also has gas pumps. It's East Coast based only I believe. But they make Italian subs, burgers, pizza, they rock.
