New Jersey is the only remaining state where it’s law an attendant must pump your gas I’m sure the Daily Show covered this years ago, when Stewart was still there. Showed the real hazards of letting people pump their own gas. When I was in Florida on vacation back in the early 00's, I saw a woman literally drive off with the pump still in her tank and that shit ripped right off. Fortunately, there wasn't any gasoline that sprayed all over the place, though the severed hose did leak some onto the asphalt.
But to quote Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi, "It's not what you want."

You guys still have other people to pump your gas full you? I live in northern Minnesota. I have yet to encounter a gas station with that feature. Granted I never drive, but still. New Jersey is the only remaining state where it’s law an attendant must pump your gas Oregon used to be the other state with full service but I believe about half the state has self serve now. I remember back in NJ my old ‘76 Chevy Impala had the gas fill behind the rear license plate. There was a bunch of times when the attendant would walk back and forth looking for the gas door on both rear quarter panels before having to ask where it was.

There is no sales tax on boots in New Jersey.

First the designated hitter in the National League, then my home state trying to make me pump my own gas.
