are you supposed to tip full service gas station attendants?

[Baliset]

toby says "No" and i am inclined to believe him. but the gas guy over the weekend just stared at me after i paid and as i was driving off which made me extremely guilty.

hmmm. my very first job was at a full service station. some people tipped, some didn't. the ones who tipped were usually the ones who asked for something more than just gas pumping, like having their windows washed or something.

 

[Baliset]

this was purelly a gaseous experience.

I don't. I was just in Oregon where every gas station is mandatory full service and I just can't imagine tipping. A whole bunch of attendants had dog biscuits handy, tho. That was nice, even if my pups acted like maniacs to em.

i always tip, but it's probably because i drive cars only in the small town where i grew up and the dude pumping the gas is someone i invariably know.

I can't imaging how much training time this took. or how many doggie treats.

My bets friend worked at a gas station for a few weeks, you don't tip them, there was this think I remember reading about tipping, you tip pizza deliverers but not gas attendants, etc.

Gas stations with only full service available are unnerving. I went to one once and got out of the car to start the pump and this guy comes up to me and asks me how much I want. I guess I didn't realise that this place didn't have any self service pumps, so it kind of surprised me. I was like, "no it's cool, I've got it."

Every gas station in Jersey was full service....

so when I left the state once i totally didn't know how to do it myself and one of my female friends had to do it for me.

yeah, when i moved to philly, i ended up in cherry hill not knowing about the full-service law, and i pulled up to a gas station and the attendant ran over and i was wrestling for the nozzle with him being like NO! NO! I DON'T WANT TO PAY YOUR RIPOFF FULL-SERVICE PRICES!

finally it was explained to me. i was floored.

 

[avi]

I always forget cuz it's so easy to do

You don't have to tip, some people just do.

I've been to one full service station last summer when my girlfriend and I were driving back to Binghamton from Long Island. We were still on LI somewhere in between Northport and Manhassett and needed gas. When the dude walked up I was like, "uh? what?" I don't think we tipped him.
