No one needs to read a text that bad, and put other people at risk!

HelenHighwater

Yes, for obvious reasons, but good luck with that. People are generally distracted by their phones even when not driving. It has become a lifestyle, along with not taking responsibility.

Max DeYoung

You can't play a good round of golf with distracted driving.

Corey Smith

Distracted driving can cause accidents to occur.

More efficient, because of staffing issues.

GT Thomas

Stations cannot get help and I prefer to pump my owm. I am tired of liberals telling everyone how to live.

Kevin Nik Myles Hayward

I already do. Self serve is legal in rural areas. Madras has self serve. Most gas stations along I84 east of The Dalles has self serve. Apparently it's the city folk that aren't trusted to pump their own gas because folks who live in rural areas have been permitted to pump their own gas for years.

Steven Huillet

It's about time Oregon joined the rest of the US allowing people to pump their own gas and diesel!

Why would you want to pump your own gas plus it provides jobs

Jane CommunityMember

Diesel has always been legal. Gasoline users have been discriminated against.

Marcus Ainsworth

why would you not? oh you live in that one state

Kenneth Suel

I'm from the rest of the country. I cannot always contain my annoyance. I never asked, wanted or needed a pit crew. I'm from. Alaska. I got it covered.

Lee Edlund

Good compromise. Pump your own or have an attendant

Jane CommunityMember

Absolutely. I already do in Jefferson and Crook Counties. Time is money and the quicker I can get back on the road, the better.

I appreciate the service, especially not having to stand outside in the cold.

Michael

Where do I wash the gas off my hands? Oregon has always voted this down. 61% of Oregonians do not support this. Gas stations will make more money with one employee . Gas in Washington is a lot higher than ours and you pump your own. Why are the legislators deciding for us?

Kim Marie

Why take away more jobs? If you don't have a few minutes to spare waiting for an attendant, maybe you should organize your time better.

Wow, you should change your name to Karen. Not everyone wants to waste their time waiting for attendants. Some of us have better things to do with our time.

GT Thomas

They have repeatedly said they cannot get help. And if you want to stay in your car you can but quit imposing your beliefs on everyone.

Bob Majka

Why would I get out to pump my own gas when the full service will be the same price? this is asinine, in all other states self-service is cheaper.

Kat Johnson

I really enjoy the ease of not having to pump the gas myself. Also I think it's good to provide jobs for people who can work at the gas stations.

Deb Kizer Dyck

I pumped my own gas for years, so I really appreciate being able to stay in my car especially during winter months. It provides jobs for those who might not otherwise get one. I don't mind having options, but don't think it's necessary for the decision to be made for me.

Off the path

I have and I can but with a bunch of kids it's nice to be served. I appreciate my gas attendant.

Jay Ball

Not having to pump your own has is one of the last good things oregon has goin for itself any more☝️

SunnySunshinestein

I'm perfectly capable of pumping my own gas but the bottom line, no excuses, is I just don't want to.

Latterdaysaint

No, if it's bad weather why would you want to plus it provides jobs

Been driving 50+ years; and never caused an accident.

Caryn Erdberg

You bet! My insurance company says I am, too.

Wendy Helsinger

of course others would disagree with me!

Carol Hawrylak-Giordano

I don't want to jinx myself but I have never had an accident or a moving violation. My license has never been suspended at anytime. I do have a bit of a heavy foot but not so bad that police pull me over.

Jody Osborne

I have been driving for just over 50 years. In that time, I've been in two accidents, one of them being my fault. It has been over 30 years since I've had an accident, or heck, even accidently dinged another car with my car's door!

Lisa Gray

Every accident I've been in was the other person's fault. Never been at fault.

Hilary

I work hard to follow road rules that most good drivers ignore. Including Full stops at stop signs and red lights (even for right turns and no traffic), not tailgating (even at stops), using turn signals (even in parking lots), and following speed limits - even on the freeway.

Tina Bouthillier

I love taking road trips alot so I am always careful

I can drive, but I don't recommend it. I have what I call blind road rage. I get behind the wheel and I blackout. Just gimme a bicycle, it's safer.

Robert Davidson

I do not drive.
