Oregon lawmakers vote to allow self-serve gas statewide

Oregon lawmakers on Wednesday voted to end a prohibition on self-serve gas that’s been in place since 1951.

Finally. It's ridiculous this took so long. If these people love pumping gas so much, then they can do it for free lol.

The fact this is still a thing in some places is such a weird archaic throwback. After this it'll just be New Jersey left, so at least it's slowly getting more normal.
Why now?
As a Californian, I always found it uncomfortable getting gas in Oregon. Like super awkward waiting at the pump for someone to come help me, when I am perfectly capable of doing it myself. :P
