Yes, that way I don't have to worry about someone spilling gas on my rig. But some credit card devices on the pumps can be difficult. So having someone to help at times in necessary.

Jeffery Roodhouse

We should not need to change the time anymore. The most important question is whether we should stay at standard time or daylight savings time. As Arizona and Hawaii have been very successful with staying at standard, so should the rest of the country.

Don Polson

Do it all the time.

Jane CommunityMember

I already do, when I'm in one of the 18 counties where it's allowed. Much faster, and I don't have to worry about someone dribbling gas or dinging my paint job. I should be able to do it in Bend.

Paul Bianchina

How about letting us have a choice. Many stations don't have enough help, resulting in longer waits than necessary. Give us a choice!!

aundrea leese

I think it should be an option. A lot if gas stations in redmond that are significantly cheaper have huge long lines because they don't have enough staff.

Jack Johnson

because it would save money

I'm 82n& those days are over for me!! Why not have 1 full service pump, for those that need ii!! It also take jobs away for some that need it!!

Bob Johnson

Most states have 2 different prices for self service or full service. And that cuts down on pumps for full service and or self service. And the question I have is how many jobs would be lost. If they went to full self service

Jane CommunityMember

That would continue be illegal here, just as it is now in the 18 Oregon counties where self-serve is currently allowed.

I know how to pump my own, did it for decades. I'm in good physical shape and am very capable of getting out into the weather. I. Just. Don't. Want. To.

Diana Mackenzie

I don’t want to get out of my car in the winter weather, when I’m dressed up & on my way to a special occasion or when I’m in another State and have no clue the rules!! I don’t want all those those employees to lose their jobs. We’re getting rid of so many workers for robots, it’s too much.

Mary Kay Boldajipour

It is a pleasure to have someone pump my gas. I have see way too many accidents by people pumping their own gas. For safety and employment I think we should still have gas station attendants.

Randy Damon

We should adopt a No self-serve policy nationwide. With approximately 135,000 convenient store gas stations in the US alone that could potentially create 270,000 jobs. This could put selective homeless people back to work.

Jane CommunityMember

Or we could close down all the Home Depot's and Lowes' to create thousands for more contracting jobs. Makes as much sense as this idea.

Self seevice puts people out of work

Why would anybody want to pump there own gas in the bad weather plus it provides jobs

Being that I'm not lazy and am completely capable of pumping my own gas, me.

Alma

No, this is one of the things I like about Oregon. Our seniors and handicapped people are not going to like the change. And no, they won't have people there to help, heck they hardly have people there now.

Jack Elliott

Why would I want to pump my own gas or mine my own salt?

Phil Spreier

There are no shortage of manual labor jobs in Bend. In fact, businesses here close every week due to lack of staffing. Please stop clutching your pearls over jobs…

Phil Spreier

Because it is STUPID to not allow it.

I think if managed properly by the Super. The budgets are workable with fewer employees multi tasking and wearing more than one hat!Any buisness can benefit with improved efficiency!!

Is someone who lets their pet off-leash in restricted areas considered a 'bad pet owner?'

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

robert weber

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

Kati Magana

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

Kim Ritchie

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

Ann Thomas

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

Deborah Albright

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

Nic Secor

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

Payton Dixson

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

robert weber

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?
