Filling station attendant

In the United States, gas jockeys were often tipped for their services,[3] but this is now rare as full-service stations are uncommon except in New Jersey, 16 “urban” counties in Oregon, the city of Weymouth, Massachusetts, and the town of Huntington, New York, where there are laws or restrictions against letting customers pump their own gasoline.

[4] Early filling stations were usually located at general stores, where gasoline would be put in buckets and funneled into vehicles.

[citation needed] In most western countries today, full-service stations and their attendants are not common and are usually considered somewhat nostalgic.

[8] The rural counties in Oregon under HB 2426 (2023) are the following: Baker, Clatsop, Crook, Curry, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Hood River, Jefferson, Klamath, Lake, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Tillamook, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, Wasco, and Wheeler.

[11] The bill was proposed by Federal Deputy Aldo Rebelo, who claims it saved 300,000 fuel attendant jobs across the country.
