  He isn’t complaining about having to pump his own gas. He is complaining about the gas station’s audacity to ask for a tip.

    Using “forced” outside of kink situations has a negative connotation. When you say “I was forced to …”, most people would take that as a complaint. Maybe that’s not the intention of the meme but still, that’s what it says shrug

    Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

      Soon enough we’ll see robots argue against each other about tipping culture

    Thanks… captain obvious? I was mentioning a related thing, not desperately trying to inject something random and unrelated, outside the scope of the original comment.

  Tipping is not customary in those states. Source: I live in one, and grew up by the border with the other.
  Bonus fact, we can now pump our own gas in oregon… though they still have to have some pumps where you can’t. I don’t want to call those full service cause they aren’t, they call them mini service. Full service cleans your windows and such as well apparently.

  I’ve lived in NJ my entire life and have never ever tipped for gas. Ever. It’s absolutely not customary here at all, and it’s the only state left where you can’t pump your own gas.

  my mom and gramma never pumped their own gas. grampa would never allow it (he had previously owned a gas station back when they were all full service 'service stations'). i've never heard of tipping at a gas station. granted, this was well before the tipping-everywhere bullshit we have now.
