For the first time in more than seven decades, drivers in Oregon are allowed to pump their own gas.

I suspect you tip the guy filling your car though? Probably a few dollars each time?

From what I read tipped workers are generally paid below minimum wage and as such the cost difference to a station is probably negligible.

But the real cost to you will be less because I doubt you're going to tip the cashier and definitely not pay at the pump..

    I've never seen anyone tip a gas station attendant in NJ before. I don't know what they get paid though

    Anecdotal experience incoming...

    I used to pump gas in NJ at a Wawa. I got paid around $9 an hour in the early 2000s. At Wawa at least, the gas attendants get paid the same as the inside staff.

    Tips were always appreciated, but never expected.
