Oregon has the fourth most expensive gas by state. New Jersey is pretty high up there, although admittedly cheaper than its neighbors by a few cents. I would doubt that full vs. self service has any real impact on gas prices
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.
That’s interesting. I’ve seen all kinds of people you wouldn’t tip elsewhere routinely be tipped in the USA. So I assumed as someone performing a service they would be included.

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
My son used work as a gas attendent years ago in NJ, and he was paid a little above minimum wage. Sometimes he would get tips.
Amecdotal experience incoming…

Tips were always appreciated, but never expected.

Assuming = making an ass out of you and me.
No, but continue to express an opinion on something that you don’t understand and doesn’t impact you.
Will do, sir!
