[ST] Gas



I've always wondered, is this some kind of union thing or what?  Someone
mentioned fire safety being the "reason" behind it, but that seems bogus
to me.

The reasons the Oregon doesn't have self-serve has focused on two points.
1. Jobs that are provided.
2. The state Fire Marshal has always lobbied against it.

Oregon has always had the reputation as the easiest state for a person to
get on the public dole so to speak and percapita has usually had the most
unemployed. The politicians have viewed this as a way to get a few of them
off the government payroll and really don't want to go self-serve.
That coupled with the fire marshal against it has pretty well canned
self-serve here.
There are fuel co-ops but you have to be a business the have a membership
and there is a minimum yearly fuel purchase of 2500 gals. that of course the
fire marshal keeps the books on.
That's it in a nutshell here in Berkley North.
