1. The attendant takes your cash, gives you your change.
2. If you pay by CC they swipe it then hand it back to you right after. Sign the receipt when done.
3. Tip is optional, I'll tip them on hot summer days or freezing winter days.
Almost forgot that a majority of them will clean your windows and windshield too.

OP, I'm tuned for 93 and a local gas station that I've been going to accident put 87(old Indian guy). At first we thought we would siphon it out but there is a fuel filter in the way so that's not possible. I ended up making the gas station tow my car to mitsu and pay for the tank to be dropped and emptied. I know that I could have just stayed out of boost an w.e but I shouldn't have to go out of my way and risk messing up my car- our cars aren't cheap.. And I'm good friends with my local dealership/ service dept. So I was glad to give them a $700+ since they give me a big discount.

My understanding is that in Jersey it's some union job-creation BS, and that Oregon's rationale is safety-**** BS.
I LOLed a little at the questions about how the process works. Not because they were dumb questions, but because I'm old enough to remember when Full Service was normal. (Hell, I remember when gas pumps were not able to display the correct price of gas once it got above $1/gallon. The gas stations had to put litte "1" stickers on the pumps in front of the cents part of the price.)

As people have said, it should be fine if you baby it... mpgs will probably go down though.
One thing I haven't seen stated: You better get a FREE tank of gas out of that place! Take them the receipt, show them they f'ed up, and ask them to fill your tank properly. They should at least comp you a tank of gas for all this trouble.

Some moron at a shell filled my car up with 87 octane when I asked for 93. I will never keep my eyes off a gas attendant again, and yes, I live in NJ.
I've never used a 'full service' station before and I always pump my own gas. It's sad people these days can't even do their own oil changes or even tire rotations. These of course, require tools and an IQ of at least 70. With pumping your own gas, you don't even need tools.

Now that I got a chance to think about it, why are you letting gas attendants pump gas into your car? Are you disabled? Most gas stations out there usually reserve only 1 or 2 stations for 'full service'. The only people that use these services are old people, disabled or women who don't know how to pump gas into their car.

That way you will look much more smarter and less ignorant.
