When I'm back in NJ, seeing the kids, I always get out of the car while getting gas,
say hi to the guy, and keep a casual eyeball on him. When I lived there, I never had
a problem pumping my own into my m'cycles...
I agree it's shoddy service in many of the joints, but those pump jockeys aren't making plumbers' hourly dough.
And, your car will never blink over this, T/R!
