Do any other Robots here pump gas for work? It's one of

>>37284267
Aren't you tempted to pour gas allover yourself and light it? It's too dangerous for a robot job. Also, what's it like to be living in the 50s when they still had full-service gas stations?

Where do you live? I haven't seen an employee pump gas for a customer since I was a kid

Some states wont allow preople to pump their own gas. Jersey's one of them.

I used to work night shift at a truckstop.
>jerked off in the booth
>stole candy frequently
>fell asleep numerous times, one time slept through an entire shift
>pissed in the back when a washroom was available
>played games on my laptop almost all the time
and I was still revered as their best employee because the drivers loved me and my daily audits were perfect.

They only hire women for that job around here. They make them dress up in tight thighs and showcase their asses all day long so horny men would keep their tanks full

Oregon state you still legally have to have someone pump your had for you.
Apparently they can't trust normies with a pump

I've been through New Jersey.

Given the average competence of the drivers there, I wouldn't trust them to pump their own gas either.

Where might this paradise be located? Any pics?

In Massachusetts every town is different regarding full or self serve. Some stations here have both options.

Not to be rude, but are Americans less competent drivers?

In the U.K. everyone drives a manual stick shift instead of an automatic and everyone pumps their own petrol (pumps gas).

In the U.K. there are roundabouts and the speed limit is higher plus fewer straight roads and no cruise control.

Honestly if my station wasn't full serve there'd be atleast 20 cars a day filing up with diesel and wrecking their engine and all sorts of other problems. Someone would smoke at the pump and cause a fire. This job totally changed my perspective on the general level of intelligence of people.

Safety regulations in the U.S are going to make stick shifts obsolete.

Amerifat here, but I've worked in the UK before. I'd say we're about equal overall. Perhaps worse training but more experienced.

The US is sprawling in size, and public transportation is much, much more limited than in the UK outside of a select few urban areas.

Unless you live in a large city, knowing how to drive is essential in the US. Consequently, it's easier to get a license here, as well as cheaper to buy and insure a car. It's even easier now than it used to be, apparently, there's been some other changes in the past couple of decades that have contributed to decreasing the quality of driver's education courses, too.

We've also had low gasoline prices...extremely low compared to the UK. Guy I work with in 50s says gasoline is the only thing that costs the same now as it did as when he was in high school.

In the UK, petrol was expensive before the North Sea operations, especially immediately post-WWII. Between the cost of fuel and taxes on engine displacement, people avoided large engines and fuel-eating encumbrances like automatic transmissions.

In the US, cheap gasoline, large, powerful engines in large, heavy cars, and long distances for commuting meant we went for automatics, along with cruise control, power brakes, windows, etc., etc. Even our roads are more clearly marked and better designed...a good thing, but also indicative of a need to support a lower-common denominator of driver ability.

Some people still preferred manuals, but mostly for performance reasons...the teens/early 20s street racing crowd, for example. The vast majority went to automatics, and most drivers here can't operate a manual in 2017.

In general, though, I don't think the overall quality of US drivers is significantly worse. What we lack in training we make up in experience...if you're in the US, you can expect to do much, much more driving, and driving in all sorts of conditions.

stick shifts are already obsolete

modern 7 or 8 speed double clutch autos are both faster and more fuel efficient
