New Jersey is the only state in the U.S. that doesn't allow customers to pump their own gas — anywhere. There's always an attendant on duty to pump gas for customers at these full-service stations.
Oregon is the only other state besides New Jersey with a full-service law. However, Oregon's laws are far less strict and allow certain parts of the state to have self-service gas stations. "It goes back to the middle of the 20th century," said Patrick Murray, the director of the Monmouth Polling Institute."There were forces involved who wanted to protect their interests in terms of the smaller gas owners against mega gas stations that were starting to be built at the time that would require self-service to be profitable."
Historically, gas stations with attendants were popular in the first half of the 1900s. But by the 1970s, most states had switched over to customers pumping their own gas. As these changes swept the U.S., a state ban on self-service in 1949, known as the Retail Gasoline Dispensing Safety Act, stopped the Garden State from following suit. Oregon passed its own similar law in 1951.
Old been on now over a month! Stale thinking, oh maybe fone on a lazy Monday!
New Jersey gas stations don’t allow their customers to pump their own gas because people from New Jersey don’t wash their hands after they use the restroom. New Jersey people are gross 🤢
Worried about stealing
Oregon is the same
Not sure the gov't should be in the way of gas pumpers. Pretty Stoopid for them to worry about it. Perhaps if they spent more time on maybe fixing the roads and bridges?...
How about Oregon?
Are they scared of customers 🙈
Oregon too
Broke Americans discussing who's gone pump the gas lol First world third world country
Anyone know why?
In the UAE, gas stations come to you! 🚗⛽ You got some catching up to do USA! FuelDelivery UAE
New Jersey does not allow their customers to pump their own gas because New Jersey people don’t wash their hands after they use the restroom.
Of course cnbc doesn’t get the facts right. Oregon as well
Weird…. In MN I saved $4,829 this year by not pumping any gas with 2 Model Y’s:)
Oregon as well
They’re securing jobs for all the African gender study degrees.
Oregon
With good reason!
Theft
Oregon
That’s good, they save jobs for people with low skills
It is a stupid law and serves no purpose.
….and the dispersers must be union, get paid $40 per hour and get 6 months paid time off every year.
Man, I miss full service gas stations.
Oregon doesn’t allow it either
Correction add Oregon
Yada yada yada… woke newsat it again!
It’s dumb, those people can be employed in more practical fields. I pumped gasoline in the 70’s during the embargo. $5.50/hr. What a waste! Fueling should be autonomous.
has something changed from the first 300 times you tweeted this same story?
Not true, Oregon too
My State never banned that, I never knew about it.
Why do you keep reposting the same thing?
You are not allowed to pump your gas in Oregon..
Nope Oregon does the same
Has Oregon changed its policy? The last time I was there you were not allowed to pump your on gas.
IAmSophiaNelson Oh so it’s not about safety but dollar bills? I live in Cincy so it would be nothing for me to drive to KY (Covington) to get gas! I’m sure it’s cheaper to pump it yourself!
On and on same story , valid attempt to stop large self serve companies into an area and killing other bus. End of story agree or disagree but understandable. Just like VT no chains allowed like macs or B king in rural areas . Done complaining don’t go there!
I wish there was a way to prove it but there is a scam in NJ with gas. If you fill up your own tank out of NJ, you get more gas than having an attendant fill it in NJ.
Oregon?
Oregon doesn’t allow you to pump your own gas either!
Communist Democrats is why.
TrySmallBiz Dude! That's one of my ideas for creating unskilled labor jobs. We have drive-throughs, Instacart, Door Dash, etc. So why not full service gas stations? Although, I wonder if they would be able to find anyone to show up and work. 🤔
And Oregon
I have 30
Neither does Mexico 🇲🇽 🤣🤣🤣
Old dumb behaviors die hard 😉.
Modi takes Adani to Nepal, Bangladesh, Australia, EU nations, US etc as if Adani is his boss CEO & Modi is his employee while indulging in corrupt energy, transmission deals with these nations just like Rafael scam.Oppn in other nations have made Modi resign for such corruption
What about Oregon?
Oregon
'The salary range for a Gas Pumper job is from $48,042 to $68,412 per year in New Jersey.'
elo_bajo I guess they are too dumb ?, it’s the only explanation I can think of ,I live in nj now by the way so I guess I’m dumb too
That's ok. We don't want to pump our own gas.
So I guess there won’t be a bucees in New Jersey, their loss.
Protectionism for pump jockey jobs. And Oregon does allow you to pump your own gas now in some rural counties.
oregon too
oregon?
And Oregon get your facts right
Misinformation TwitterSupport 🤭
Oregon doesn’t allow pumping your own gas either. FYI.
This story will be posted at least 8 times, daily.
Your tweet and the article are in conflict!
you post this article once a month
oregon ?
Not a bad shout to do this everywhere why because we touch the pump with no gloves 🧤 then uses the same hand to eat food with, who guilty of this to?
Of course cnbc doesn’t do their research…. Oregon is the same
oregon too
I've been seeing the damn article on my feed for the past 3 months. I want it to end. I feel like I'm stuck in the matrix.
I think Oregon also bans self service. They used to.
Is that a problem?
prison labor
Because $$$
Count Oregon
Oregon also doesn’t allow you to pump your own gas.
Fake news. Oregon.
Oregon too
Filler up John!
NOT the only State, Oregon as well.
And it is a wonderful thing
I’ve seen this article on my feed like 32 times. Make it stop…
“Because they suck” wasnt the answer I was expecting!
Not entirely true if the gas attendant is taking too long and im in a rush im doing it myself
Cuz they aren't smart enough to differentiate between gas and diesel, perhaps?
It’s a stupid law. Needs to be changed then the pricing structure will become more normal
There are a few gas stations in my NJ town that asked me to pump. But it’s for those ‘Jerry Cans’ for lawn mowers or power equip. (Never told why attendant won’t fill those up..)
Must be a very slow news day to recycle such an old story
Ya, it’s awesome. I drive thru NJ often and always fill up there.🕺
Oregon doesn’t in most areas.
Another job minimum wage laws eliminated.
That's not even true.
False
New Jersey doesn't allow customers to pump their own gas because they have a lot of high school dropouts in need of employment.
Now the Garbage State🤔used to be the Garden State😿
Safety first
Why can’t CNBC with all their resources check that Oregon also does not let customers pump their own gas. No wonder we wonder MSM is either fake or tell us the partial truth to fit their narrative. It makes me wonder if I can trust any thing presented on CNBC
Oregon, too!!!
Biden takes 12%c gives 6%n what a deal!
I'll save you a click. “There were forces involved who wanted to protect their interests in terms of the smaller gas owners against mega gas stations that were starting to be built at the time that would require self-service to be profitable.”

I just pump it myself. Otherwise I’d still be waiting. 😑
what about Oregon?
We don't pump our gas we pump our fists
Oregon doesn’t allow it
It’s not the only state. Oregon has same stupid law
Oregon, too.
Corruption and regulatory capture obviously
You can pump in Oregon with a commercial license.
Its a SOCIALIST State and profoundly STUPID
If it’s not a paywalled link for Pro or Cramer, it’s useless crap like this, repeated over and over and over…
Oregon. I have a Eugene home...nope
People are lazy, they tend to leave the pump running.. waste so much gasoline..
We’ll there can’t be many 24/7 open.
Not accurate. Oregon doesn't allow drivers to pump their own gas either.
Huh. OREGON does that
Not true. What about Oregon?
For the price of gas in California, it should be pumped for the consumers
Has Oregon changed their law?
Oregon. Do some research if you want to provide “news”.
I for one miss this after moving out of NJ, they also pump your gas in Oregon. No stinky smell on your hands 🙌
It is nice on a cold day as this to have someone pump ⛽
Truth is because people suck and don’t care if they spill or leave their engines running while pumping 🤨🧐🤓
Late breaking news from CNNBC. This news is as old as the day is long. So what, now what?
Not a good excuse at all. A protectionist way to supposedly protect small station owners harms the consumers.
8 degrees out there right now. It's days like this where I appreciate that law.
Oregon doesn’t allow you either
Gas prices down—boycott Tesla!
There are still places in Oregon, even with the new law.
But you have to pump your own desiel fuel ⛽️
It’s a Jersey thing.
Not true, you forgot Oregon...please do better research....
Let someone pump gas for you—boycott Tesla
FireMedic40NJ odds this flips in next 200 years - me less than 4%
Full service gas stations are cool.
We know why. It's a socialist state.
DanFrissora
teamhrc I had no idea!
Everyone knows that. Stop posting this information over and over. It is nonsense
Boycott Tesla
Oregon is the same way the guy has to come out and pump your gas for you. You feel obligated to tip him.
Oregon also
I'm guessing it's because New Jersey drivers have to pass some kind of mental health exam before being allowed back on the roads. Sorry NJ-but just passing through your state required me to call the wife so she could tell our kids: 'Daddy loves you, Daddy may not be coming home.'
IQ deficiency?
Full service is little awkward w common pay at the pump features - if I gotta do all that, then is it really that much more trouble to take it from there myself
Oregon?
First time I ever stopped at a gas station in that state an attendant nearly cussed me out for getting out of my vehicle to pump gas… Which is exactly why I stopped buying gas there when I have to travel through the state… I’ll handle my own credit card thank you very much…
Trying to find a few people who think telescopes are cool, pls check out my article. If you want to read something intense, check out my book. Details in the pinned tweet. Trying to take care of dad's medical expenses thru my work. Help only if you like it and RT pinned tweet.
Reported for gross redundancy. Just an endless loop of unimportant trivia.
Oregon also doesn’t allow you to pump your own gas too.
Bc out of work 🤡s need jobs too
Not true! Oregon doesn’t allow it either.
It’s called civilization.
WRONG Oregon didn't let me pump gas recently
Oregon?
Impeach!!!!!! 😱
Not the only state , Oregon as well .
lovemychris Like TX not having legalized gambling, casinos. Meanwhile Texans FLOCK to NM, LA, OK to GAMBLE & 'Game Rooms', bingo parlors, lottery tickets are EVERYwhere. WHY? Oh, we have dog races. Thhhh!! Too much $$ being made & paid to...guess. GOOD GUESS! POLITICIANS on BOTH sides. O_O
Oregon still has laws on the books for the entire state. But because some counties allow it and the state doesn't intervene, doesn't recognize the distinction. This type of truth is acceptable to most people in journalism, I suppose. Sad really.
CNBC located in NJ, now knowing this face is 😂
This was a normal thing in the 70’s gas stations had someone put the gas in your car !
I'm trying to figure out how I may be able to mute certain stories from your account without mute-ing your account entirely. Any suggestions? Coz you have been peddling this one endlessly.
It’s a great thing.
Oregon stop?
Even Canadian’s know Oregon doesn’t allow people to pump their own gas. I know journalists are not as knowledgeable as they used to be but holy cow, this is brutal.
how often are you going to post the same tweet? geesh
It's kind of nice. Takes me back to when the attendant would also check your oil and air pressure.
Well, like always, Anything affiliated with NBC never gets the story right or whoever does the research simply sucks at thier job which is probably why NBC hired them in the first place. Oregon also does not allow people to pump thier own gas.
Oregon also doesn't allow customers to pump their gas.
Oregon doesn’t let you pump your own gas either.
Not even gonna lie…I wish we had some full service stations in Tennessee…especially when it’s cold & rainy outside. Id pay more for the assistance. Value
Oregon Right Now
Has ourmedia been completely compromised? Tjey ignore the Twitter files.
You forgot about Oregon.
oregon too unless changed
Oregon too
Do they do windows also and make sure the tire pressure is correct
Please put this article to rest omg, every 2 hours
still the weirdest law i’ve ever heard. when was the first time i saw this article, oneamazingladyz? Remember how we talked about how goofy it is to me? Wasn’t that like last year?
People leave without paying... don't open link, thank me later 😄
Saw the same in Oregon as well.
Oregon used to not either
Stop you last sobs!!!’ You post this a hundred times a day!!!!!
I fill up in DE or NY, skip NJ takes to long to wait for an attendant.
Wrong Oregon
It's one of the BEST things about living in NJ. These days, not pumping our own gas is one of the few perks about the Garden State... along with no sales tax on clothes & Diners
I hate full service. It can sometimes take half an hour to get gas if it’s busy.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of New Jersey!! I just feel bad for anyone who has to live in New Jersey.
Hey you Guy's should look at what happens to $MMTLP with corrupt FINRA today . I repport this cause there is a heavy ilegal stuff going on right now between retail investor and market makers that needs to be public FINRAFRAUD
It's one of the top reasons I live in NJ.
When they put it that way, it actually makes sense. Still gonna make fun of them for not being able to even pump their own gas though. But I get it and it's not a bad idea.
Stop!!!!!!’n
Another reason NJ is an armpit. Yup I said it
It’s kinda a weird line to draw in the sand, it would be like banning self checkout at stores or ordering food through an app to “save jobs”. Kinda feels backwards a little bit.
You can only pump your own in Oregon in certain rural areas late at night. It sucks.
So you say you lie? Or don't do research, verification, Jerusalem. I thought that was your job? Dam wrong again NOT!
Love it
please tell us for the 50th time.. hire some writers geez
You can’t pump your own gas in most areas of Oregon. Only in cities with less population then 40,000.
Oregon?
Move New Jersey to europe
Election interference and Biden's laptop might be more important news
If you spend 40 on gas , are you supposed to tip 20% ?
JoeHedglin I had no idea..
Because those machines are just too complicated for your typical newjerseyans
Chevron and Bloomberg continue siphoning our money. You know why,because there are a ton of EVs on the road and not a shortage of oil.
Oregon doesn't either.
I thought Oregon was the same way?
“Kim Kardashian has other uses for the gas nozzle. Click here to be surprised!” Come on CNBC.
Oregon?
Omg stop!!! Stop being lazy!! How many damn days and how many times a day are you going to post this story? Seriously?!
Not accurate. Oregon has the same pumping laws.
Yes. Grateful for that. Don’t have to go out when it is cold or raining or inhale the fumes.
Yeah, and they also check your oil and wipe your windshields. All states should get back to true caring service in my opinion.
Stop!!!!!! 5 times a day!! So lazy!
It’s called a jobs program that raises costs to consumers for literally 0 reason.
PhilMurphy deserves 1000 lashes
It true, I was there not to long ago and pumped my own gas. I did think it was good they had pumps you could go to where they would pump your gas for you at a higher price of course.
It’s great! I wish more states would follow
Because THIS can happen:
Who gives a flying fuck?
Oregon too!
That's not news it's always been this way in nj. We didn't have self service gas stations in Texas until 1978. So what.
Also, woooooo! You guys at nbcdfw really priming the pump for impactful, hard hitting, state and local news!!
Mafia Got to collect the rent.
So does oregon so very weak article
How odd, and lazy
JustMoonStox Heya and justMoonStox thanks for follow 😊btw if possible can you please follow my main account aswell Humankindsydney
Wrong . Oregon does not allow car owners to fill up.
Oregon too.
Old news
Growing up in NJ posed quite the shock the first time I drove out of State to have to figure out how to fill my gas tank. On the flip side, it was funny when I had a client, along with my coworker, in NJ back in 2000. My coworker thought you had to tip the attendant.
Yippee!!!
Did you forget about Oregon?
I always do! Just get out and say no thanks
Didn’t know that
I hate waiting for the guy. And if it’s safety, then let the careless burn. Thin out the driving herd.
Do we really need an explanation
Oregon not a state anymore?
It’s an outdated policy
Oregon too.
Can you self serve electric?
FakeNews. OR does not allow you to pump your own gas
Two words: New Jersey
The state already smells like gasoline, what's the harm of a few more drops spilled on the ground?
Tony Soprano. Next question.
Very interesting.
Oregon as well
High Taxes and unnecessary rules gutter democrat state
Oregon
Stinks. But I have to unfollow because I get this same story flooding my timeline every week for months!
Neither does Oregon.
Oregon also
Probably because so many thieves trying to steal the gas....
Why do you keep posting the same articles over and over? About to unfollow you clowns.
Oregon?
You guys forgot about Oregon lol I was just there.
weird.
NJ a state? I thought this was dump which I-95 pass thru.
This is why
Not a good answer.
Rumor has it the pumpers there couldn’t find the hole 🕳️ It’s a shame, really.
It gives someone a job…
The Mob has to be in the mix somehow
Actually Oregon doesn't either...
When did Oregon relent?
A terrible crime is happening in Mahabad right now, the Islamic terrorist republic is massacring people in Mahabad with heavy equipment in the most heinous way possible, please be the voice of the people of Mahabad. MahsaAmini IranRevolution
Oregon doesn’t let you pump your own gas.
I like the fact that working class folks in Jersey and Oregon can make a living pumping gas for folks.
I’m. Oregon?
The why remains.
I love that they do it!
When it's freezing butt cold I would feel so bad making somebody else do something I'm perfectly capable of doing myself!
Oregon doesn't let you either
I prefer to pump my own gas. It's faster and I don't have to talk to anyone.
Oregon. How did you miss this?
I pump my own gas in NJ all the time! Who’s gonna stop you?
Oregon also doesn’t allow one to pump your own gas.
NOT TRUE. Oregon
What about Oregon?
Oregon too
Arizona doesn't let you pump your own' gas either.
Now, would somebody explain why NY won't let you lock the pump handle on? Every time I'm standing out in a rain storm or below zero temps trying to pump gas and not freeze to death or drown, I curse out everybody in the vicinity!
Oregon !
Oregon aswell
I love it and do not want it changed! I am spoiled lol! It gives ppl jobs too! GovMurphy
This answers nothing.
Is this TRUE?
Maybe people should read about Oregon ..the rules did change
One of the most difficult things for people to get a sense of is that when we spend money, one of two things happens: it goes in the pocket of the rich people who generally 'own' things or it goes through the hands of people who work and spend. ...
It's a Jersey thing. (See South Park).
Because we like it this way.
My family was in the service station business for 50. Years what we made at the pump eent to rent .we made our living working on cars and trucks .now you pump your own gas Buy 10 to 20 dollars of stuff you don't need inside there stores
Oregon too
Oregon does the same, but we don't crave the attention new jersey does
Ummmm…Oregon is the same way
Someone should tell Costco in Oregon.
If there were more full service stations, fewer mistakes would be made by people who can't be bothered to follow the very few rules about pumping gas.
I loved that part of living in NJ and seatbelts. They started back in the 80's, maybe earlier.
Cannot pump own gas In Oregon
Not true, Oregon has the same stupid law.
You can’t pump your own gas in Oregon
Oregon believes trained technicians should distribute gasoline to prevent polluting the environment. Pennies on the dollar in cost to the consumer.
Thought u can’t do that in Oregon either
I thought Oregon did that too
Why would you want to pump your own gas?
I think Oregon State is that way too. At least it used to be.
Dirty Jersey doesn't pump gas, they pump their fists 👊🙌
Is this true for Oregon still?
I wouldn't even know how to pump my own gas. Hence why I don't plan to move out of state. 😆
I miss this so much.
Unless Oregon has changed, they didn't either.
Wrong. Can’t do it in Oregon either.
Oregon?
Love it esp when temps are in the teens (F) outside 🥶 🤣

Weeeeeeee knowwwwwwwwww.
Yay! Thank you NJ 🙌🏼
What about Oregon cartoonnetwork
Fast food restaurants are running low on foods like Popeys , and other cause of high fuel cost and is a burden for distributors 👎 and there goes America's great fraternal clubs ❤🇺🇸
That’s not a true statement cnbc. Oregon doesn’t allow customers to pump their own gas either. Gas attendants paid for by the gas station owners pump the gas for customers. Just thought you should know. 🤷🏼♂️
This was a good gig for high school kids who were saving up for their first car. Many of them became skilled mechanics and opened up their own shops. I think it’s different now.
getting very lazy. Posting this 2-3x a day.
Unions. So that’s why
Oregon
When we were in Oregon in 2019 they didn’t allow it either. Check your facts.
Oregon
And the rest of us are safer for it.
So we can FINALLY pump our own gas in the state of Oregon?
Nor does Oregon
Hey do better research, Oregon is the same way
Hello from Oregon, United States
Give your interns access to Google…Oregon doesn’t.
People of New Jersey don't want it.
Oregon?
Oregon as well
NJ is one of the worst states in the country. That partially explains it.
Not true. Also prohibited in Oregon
Weird ; they can wipe my ass along with pumping my gas if they want to
Oregon doesn’t also.
U forgot Oregon
Blue state commie laws
What about Oregon . I believe Oregon is the same
What happened to Oregon?
When I lived in NJ, I hated waiting on the attendants to fill my car. I could save 5 minutes doing it myself. Sometimes laws are just stupid. EV charging does not require an attendant anywhere. Gas attendants should learn to code, right?
Come to Oregon. Can’t pump it here…
Oregon
What about Oregon? They don't, either.
Love that
Democrats who use 2 Diesel heating oil for their homes might want to switch their votes from 🔵 to red 🔴 so they don't freeze this winter. Biden's cutting of fossil fuels includes zero 2 Diesel oil for heating everyones homes...

Maybe Greeks are the gas station owners
I always thought it was for jobs
That’s why all the Turks live there
Oregon?
That’s false. Oregon is the same way. You cover gas pumps like you cover politics. It’s bad.
Like it use to be. Thank God.
Because they extort taxpayers like Tony Soprano
Real reason: It’s another form of progressive “tax” handout that also boosts NJ employment numbers.
worst state you can live on.
I've read the article twice and I still don't understand a practical reason for not allowing self-service.
Gasoline contains cancer causing benzene 🎗️
translation
Portland does the same thing
California doesn’t show taxes at gas pumps… too many taxes
Oregon is the same
Incorrect. Oregon does not allow people to pump their own gas.
The state of Oregon has entered the chat.
Are you sure You don't pump your own gas in OREGON.
That’s actually a good idea. Less hassle for us. Drive-thru gas xD
That’s actually it a bad idea for California. Less hassle
This is a lied . Oregon don’t
They can charge more getting more money excuses ignorance. Why do you think so many Yankees move and call themselves Texans now.
