In the context of America, though, it is a little weird that someone wouldn't know how to pump their own gas because full-service stations are a thing of the past. Most of the country pumps their own gas, so once you travel outside of the full-service areas, you need to pump your own gas. Traveling outside of these areas, for the most part, doesn't take very long and most people leave the state they were born in at least once. It's not unheard of for someone to stay in these areas for their entire life, but one might think that someone traveling to another country might have left their full-service area for even a small period of time at least once.

FYI Oregon has the same law about gas pumping, so i don't know why that story said only... BUT I have no idea how many states do this. i've lived in 11 different states, and none of them have this law... so it is rare.

I have been all over the US and never have seen people pump gas for you. All over.

In some states it's illegal to pump your own gas. I live in NJ and we can't pump our own gas. I'm originally from NY and when I first moved here I thought it was so strange

Yea I grew up in Louisiana so I’ve pumped my own gas for as long as I’ve been pumping gas. So the thought of someone else pumping my gas aside from someone in my car is strange to me.

I lived over seas for a bit and they pumped gas for you. First time in my life. Felt weird but was nice in winter

[@tnadg9521]

In my country (Philippines), customers do not pump their gas. There are hired gas boys (or girls) who pump your gas for you and collect payment. They also clean your windshield while you wait and pump air into your tires if you want or check your oil. They should be tipped, of course, but tipping is not mandatory.

[@eboniedreamz1371]

Jennifer T I can imagine. I personally think it’s easier in general if we all just do it ourselves. Yea the cold sucks but it is what it is

I live on the border of one state, next to another state where you don't pump your own gas (not New Jersey), so I've grown up knowing that there are some places like that, and was prepared for the following encounter: I was at a gas station, and this older woman hesitantly came up to me and asked how the pumps worked. Unlike the lady in the vid, this woman either knew or realized she'd have to do it herself, and she was very polite about it. She was also a little embarrassed, but I did my best not to make her feel bad.

[@hikkikomoe]

Karen: come to work ! OP: I don't work here Karen: and I took that perosnally

[@LauraFromMarkerQuest]

Listening to the story about the lady demanding that someone pump her gas, my immediate thought was “I bet she’s from New Jersey.” I’m from Pennsylvania (which is right next to New Jersey) and it’s a bit of a running gag here.

That supervisor also needs to be taken care of legally. She should've lost her job for endangering her employee and then using co-workers to harass them when they leave.

Born and raised in New Jersey. You can NOT pump your own gas in this state. You were correct and I will quote you! Love the content.

[@IDKndIDK]

Remember when Ohio changed their laws so that people would pump their own gas? The memes were amazing, and Ohians were so confused for a while

[@missconstrues]

You've got the wrong O state. It was Oregon, not Ohio, that changed their laws as we Ohioans have been self-service for decades. It is, however, illegal in NJ to pump your own gas.

[@ismae-rienne4991]

The only thing Ohioans got confused about when it came to gas, is when they changed from paying either before or after, to just pay before.

What the hell was that Supervisor? It wasnt even a business issue, that was basic human decency, literally ban the guy from the store. I'm surprised that management didn't fired that maniac

[@sixolddereks]

Prior New Jersey resident here. It is actually illegal for you to pump your own gas/petrol in the state. They made the law to make more job openings so that the gas stations would have to employ enough people to pump everyone's gas. It definitely leads to many people not knowing how to do it themselves, but provides many jobs for people that don't have/need any prior experience. Usually reaction to seeing someone pumping themselves is to inform of the law and assume they are from out of state. So, typically not such a big deal. I have never seen the law enforced, but it does set a precedent for the stations to keep multiple employees on staff at all times.

[@LandGrand]

I assume the American was from New Jersey. I wouldn't know what other state where there are people hired to just fill up gas!

[@strudel_reviews]

I believe Oregon or Washington I can't remember

Ambiguous Panda Oregon did, but changed the law a couple years ago. It was a bit amusing watching full-grown adults panic because they’d never pumped their own gas.

I was thinking the same as the last comment. This dude rolled up to a girl, even nervously, and had her agree to go for a walk with him. Now imagine if he had the confidence and wasn't mistaking her for a call girl

[@ValkyrKat1488]

There’s some other gas stations in other states of the U.S. where the gas station pumps your gas and you pay them for the gas. I’ve been to a couple like this

[@Mewse1203]

I wonder if the gas station lady was from Oregon or New Jersey. That's the only reason I can think of she'd think that. Edit: glad Rslash put that in the video...but did that say New Jersey is the only state? Cause it's not. Oregon has that law too though they have some exceptions now for smaller counties.

I’ll never forget the day I took my 69 yr old Nana to learn how to pump her own petrol and order fast food. My Gramps had always done it for her and I told her it’s time you learned!
