I live on the south shore and had no idea self service was illegal in Weymouth.Submitted by noble_29 t3_125v64p in massachusetts

Full service gas stations are super popular on the south shore for some reason, so I guess it makes sense.

Yea I would assume most people in Weymouth couldn't figure out a gas pump anyway

It's not your fault your parents raised you in Weymouth. It's ok

They’ve got a donut king, a Walmart, and a half decent state park to fish in. That’s about all

There’s a reason it’s infested with trump goons

I mean I'm just making a joke here. Weymouth is fine

You’re in part the reason we have trump goons

You're the only one here talking about trump. Take your day old account and go away

Sounds like you’re one of the enablers, maybe grow a pair instead of making excuses

Because boomers on the South Shore enjoy believing that it's still 1973.

If I recall correctly, the Weymouth mandate came about because of a gas station explosion in like the 40/50/60's due to user error.

Someone from Braintree visited Weymouth, the rest is history.

This has caught me out a few times when I've tried to self serve at one of these stations. Fortunately the attendant was very polite about my confusion, as I'd never been to a full service gas station before.

I live in Weymouth and love the full service gas stations. Why do people prefer self service over full service? Genuine question btw.

I don't want to talk to anybody and I don't want to tip anybody

I’ve never heard of anyone tipping full service gas
TinyEmergencyCake t1_je9k9ni wrote
I worked at a gas station that offered a full service lane and got tips. Not from everyone but it was fairly common.
momoneymocats1 t1_je9kvuu wrote
Makes sense. As a Weymouth resident who’s forced into full service I just can’t swallow tipping when I’m forced into it. Also our gas prices are painfully expensive

Finding the mute button on gas pumps with commercials is the best part of my day.

I don't want to interact with someone then sit around while my gas gets pumped when it's faster and less hassle to just do it myself

It’s faster and simpler to do it myself.
