Nobody should have to work a job that puts their future health at risk, especially a pointless job such as this. There are not a ton of studies on it but the ones that have been done show some of the effects from breathing in fumes majority of the day and it does negatively effect you where it could lead to higher % of complications later on.

Keep on keepin on, tough guy permalink fedilink source parent [–] morphballganon@lemmy.world -1 points 3 years ago* Y'all are BOTH making invalid arguments. There are pros and cons to both methods. You have each grown accustomed to one way and the other way seems strange to each of you. It's not like one of you is wrong and one right. I grew up in Oregon but have pumped gas when traveling in other states. Getting out to pump your gas is a minor inconvenience. Waiting for an attendant to serve you is a minor inconvenience. Each of you is simply used to a different minor inconvenience. Chill. permalink fedilink source parent

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 9 points 3 years ago I used to change people's oil for a living and get soaked in the stuff all day long. We should ban lube shops too as changing your own oil is super easy and only takes minutes to do yourself. permalink fedilink source parent

[–] ExMimic@lemmy.world -4 points 3 years ago* (2 children) Should we also eliminat landscaping jobs due to the negative health risk? They're have to work in the blazing heat of the summer, using loud equipment, breathing in fumes. According to you, we should ban landscaping companies, and make everyone take care of the own lawns and yards. Why have flaggers for road work? Drivers should just learn to slow for road work. People shouldn't be forced to work such a pointless and dangerous job, right? Many jobs have some sort of health risk, gas attendents included. Once again, I am not for or against the law in NJ. If they got rid of the law tomorrow, than I couldn't care less. I'm perfectly capable of pumping my own gas, and have done so both in and out of state. I just like the convenience of not having to do it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Nusm@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Why have flaggers for road work?

Each of you is simply used to a different minor inconvenience. Chill. permalink fedilink source parent
