Well the funniest thing was when Corzine (NJ governor for those that don't know) suggested to allow self service stations in NJ.
All the rich people bitched up a storm, writing letters and protesting the governor's mansion in Princeton. Not too many of the people that pump the gas bitched too much, but remember the mansion is in
Princeton, a pretty rich and snobby town.
You should have heard my in-laws cry about it, esp my sister-in-law. Back when gas was $2.75 a gallon, she paid almost $4 for a full serve station in Newtown. (Only 1 full serve station and also one of the most expensive in Bucks county) They live in Somerset county, the richest county in NJ
Funny side note to all this, one time I was gasing up (this was when gas the the correct price) this lady got out of her car and was staring at the pump while holding the nozzle. I was on the other side of the same island. She was standing there for about 5 mintues and then she asked me "How do you work this thing?" I leaned over and looked at her license plate, just to break her balls a bit, and I said "Well I can't make fun of you for not knowing how to work the pump" We both laughed and I helped her. She wa a nice lady, older woman too, so it's not like I helped her becasue she was hot.
The other time I was in full Pepsi uniform (mech type jacket and matching dark blue pants) and it was wintertime so it was dark at 5pm. This MB full of snobs pulled up to the pump and watched me fill up the Alero. I ingored them and kept pumping. When I was done, I put the pump back and they got the money ready. I jumped in my car and took off LOL
