If you live in a state that doesn't allow you to pump your on gas, do you give the attendant a tip for doing that?

never thought about it,

• Of course not.  I never pump my own gas.  Why would I tip someone for pumping gas?  Although I think way back in time, when I was a little kid, people did that. But they routinely wash the windshield and checked tires back then.  I was aware that there were states that didn't have self service pumps.

@catter70,

Sometimes I do!

[MaverDaver]

nope

[eddyandme]

NO.

This tipping thing has gotten ridiculous!  Tipping originated as an appreciation for someone going above and beyond, a showing of special consideration - not for doing their job!

Tipping is now out of control.  I couldn't believe last week when in a subway there was a 'tip' button on the credit-card machine!  Wonder if anyone's gonna start tipping you doctor for doing s/he's job next.  In other words where does it end.

I did not know that there are states that do not allow you to pump your own gas.  What states are they?
