Man, I have an iPhone for work, issued by my employer, and I fucking hate it. Sure, it has a fancy camera and a slick-looking user interface together with a suite of proprietary apps that we use to track production, man-hours and the like, but apart from that, it really is a "walled garden," and isn't something I would ever consider for personal use.
Again, I fuckin'hate it.
Not to mention that the US military's senior officer corps absolutely despises him for a suite of reasons that should be obvious to anyone who's been half awake and has a brain.
They don't have attendants, at least not here in Oregon. Maybe they do where you live?
Obviously you've never had the misfortune of going to the 7-11 station in Hillsboro.
Also, not being able to pump our own gas is why most of our gas stations aren't open 24-7, which sucks for working people who often have to leave home early in the AM before the gas stations are open. If you forgot to fill up the day before? Forget about it, you're going to be late to work.
A full service option is mandated by law. This new law just means we can choose self serve now. The rules are different in rural Oregon where, due to the vast distances, especially in eastern Oregon, not being able to get gas can be legitimately dangerous.
It depends on the station. Some are well staffed and you rarely wait more than a minute or two. Others, not so much. I know of one such station in Hillsboro. Many times I just get out and pump it myself rather than waiting the five or ten minutes it takes them to do it.
How is having one attendant pumping gas for six vehicles faster than me pumping my own?
Answer; it's not. Source; I live in Oregon. Fun fact; due in part to this law, Oregon has relatively far fewer gas stations than other states, so picking another station often is not a viable option.
I fuckin'hate it. Most people I know hate it. I know maybe a handful of people who like it, but they are the exception. In any case, we still have the full-serve option, except for in rural Oregon.
They're going to keep the full-service option. Now we have a choice.
Man, a lot of you Americans need to unionize. None of this happens at my work and it's precisely because we're unionized and have a contract that specifically says that our employer is bound by strict rules. Granted, we don't get a month paid vacation, but we can't be denied time off, can't be compelled to be on call, can't be forced to work overtime and we have PTO accounts, healthcare and a pension that get paid into on a weekly basis.
It's the same in the US if you're unionized. My union operates in Canada too and from what I've been told our contracts are pretty similar, apart from pay scale varying by district council and currency.
This is the correct answer.
