It is awful when you feel obligated to tip, even if no actual service is provided. The whole machine tip deal needs to end! I only tip with cash!

Carol Johnson

Depends how good the service is.

Brady Jordan

tips should be extinct

den b

I dislike being "guilted" into leaving a tip if it is not applicable.

If you don't provide a service like serving the food in a restaurant you shouldn't get tipped! Let people decide IF they want to tip, trying to force them by setting the % is counter productive and shameful trying to make the customer feel bad!

James Shevlin

Tips are regarded for the service that is provided to the customer not because you had a server. It starts from the time you arrive until the time you finish your visit. Greeting, table, silverware, dishes, cups, food ordered, food received, temperature of food, quality of food. etc.

Gina Ricketts

Tipping was for good service. Now it's expected no matter what. Now you have to manually change tipping options when you order online. Why should I tip then? They are doing nothing.

Steven Huillet

I tip depending on how good the service is.

Marty Lewis

I will tip generously for excellent food and table service. Neither of which can be found at most places in Bend these days. 15% has always been the standard, more for outstanding performance. Tipping for drive through or take out, no.

Maggie Olson

Drive throughs and places where you're just picking up a to go order shouldn't be asking for a tip. I tip waiters, or my hairdresser for a SERVICE preformed. Tips shouldn't be considered part of a persons hourly wage.

Patrick Elliott

Businesses are actually being hurt by extorting customers for tips, making it less likely for some customers to return. Why not just include a flat service fee on the bill included in the price quoted in advance? Many restaurants are taking that route to ensure their servers receive a fair tip.

Abby Normal

Get rid of tipping. Pay your staff enough that they don't need to get tips

Lori

Leaving tips is just a way that the corporations can lessen the employees pay and use the tips as part of their hourly wage! Giving the corporate more money in their pockets and a way out for not paying their hard working employees the full amount of their earnings! Taxes take out way too much now!

Rick Allen

It is very awkward, especially when tips screen comes up in a non service type of business. Tips should be on service received at a restaurant, not a pizza place for example. I mean tipping when you just ordered something is absurd,

Lisa York

I base my tip on the service I receive and don't appreciate being guilted into tipping for bad service.

Michael Dvorak

I will decide for myself.

yeah because you could die from corona

Absolutely! Coming from states where you do pump your own, it is definitely faster. At places like Fred Meyer that serve many people, attendants don’t always get to the people who got there 1st. Arg!

Mike Aronow

Yes, but, I wish they all had those clips that allowed you to start fueling and then hang out in your car until the tank was full. Some still do, but, I feel like they're increasingly rare.

sharder8

Nothing like waiting for the employee to finally get to refueling your car and then waiting again for the employee to hang up the hose. Having said that, I do use full service when in medically need.

Gina Ricketts

Because I can get in and out quick and don't have to wait in line for gas station employees who are the slowest individuals in the free universe lol!

Doug Paris

Because I'm not lazy and I am not incompetent-it is faster and in tune with the vast majority of the other 49 states-can't believe Oregon is still living in the dark ages-MG what is wrong with you pep

Keith Uht

48. New Jersey is like Oregon.

Ka San

Yes, absolutely!!! I've only lived in Bend for 3 years, and I find it slow and inconvenient. Even in bad weather, I'd rather not wait for an attendant.

Len Parsons

And the price for self service needs to be less than full service

Diane Springstead Cole

Growing up in Ohio I've pumped gas for years. I never minded it.

Susan Keith

It is better for the environment as the nozzle does not remain in the tank with fumes escaping until the attendant is able to return to your vehicle.

GT Thomas

You do not have to but it should be your choice.

Steven Huillet

Gas prices would be cheaper for one thing and service would be much faster!

Adam Hollman

Let station owners decide how to serve their customers and then consumers can choose where to buy. I prefer to just take care of it myself rather than wait until the attendant gets around to me.

56%

No, don't want to.

I'd rather not deal with the pump. Plus I don't want to take a job away from someone who could have been an attendant.

I don't want to take jobs away from anyone. That is why I won't use the self serve in Walmart either.

Patricia Morris

Came from a state where you had to pump my own gas and it is not easy to do in your 80’s

Nik Myles

This is a job killer bill

champagne dog

Why would I want to pump gas. I love full service gas stations and often tip the attendants. Self service gas pumps equals loss of jobs and inconvenience for customers. Please Oregon, stay unique.

Karen Schwecke Bates

i just had back surgery - definitely not pumping my own gas. Plus, we travel in between Washington and California - I love the fact that we can come back to Oregon and not have to get out of the car

Christena

It creates jobs, it's convenient. I don't really care either way but it's nice.

Danni

I'm old, disabled, and way too stupid to figure out how it works. Do you think women all dressed up for a date want to arrive smelling of gasoline?

Leslie Ann

I've poor health and greatly appreciate those who work hard and pump my gas. They need jobs too.

Rod Blower

We have voted on this many times, and it has always been bnb 9ted down

Toni Ayers

Why is everyone in such a hurry? Waste too much time on social media perhaps?

Linda Starr Williams

NO NO AND HELL NO!!!!

Kathryn Kinney Evans

Just not a good idea all around.

Linda Nolin

I have never had so much trouble getting gas as when I went on a trip to Az. last year. Can't use cash and couldn't get the gas to start because every pump is different. Had to get help several times.

Robert Northrup

The excuse that pumping gas is dangerous is ridiculous. Millions of people pump gas everyday without injury to themselves, others or their vehicle. It is worth it to me to pay for the service.

Gary Hatherill

I don't mind, either way. But didn't I hear the law says the price has to stay the same?

Erica Crossan

Because I don't want to smell like gas or get out in the weather. I also don't want to go inside if I pay with cash

Judy Fisher

Self-pumping gas in Oregon would eliminate those jobs for people who currently do this service.

Nancy Cook

I think safety and security are both issues. A hired attendant is a safer option, especially for women in a car alone.

Leota Evans

Because I like having my gas pumped.. I've never pumped my gas in Oregon... native Oregonian.. More jobs for Oregon... We don't need people being in a hurry pumping there own gas...slow down

Loni Jewell

The amount of jobs that would be lost seems would be a blow to a part of the community that already struggles to afford the cost of living in our area. Job elimination for convenience, no way!

Anthony Dehart

It's just a start to be 100% self service and at full price

Ann Harbert Evensen

At my age, I just would rather not have to pump my own.

Bob Majka

It sucks having to pump your own gas in inclement weather. Let someone get paid to do it!

Karen Rickard Smith

why put someone out of a job!!!

Latterdaysaint

It kills jobs, pluse who want to pump there own gas in the winter

i self identify as having natural immunity, and suggest others do the same, as the deep state certainly has a new scamdemic planned, and will most likely start sometime after January 20th.
