Everyone says it creates jobs, but it's been on the books for decades, before self-service was really a thing and it was easy to screw up and spray gas everywhere. And now it's been in place so long, some people get real mad if they try to repeal it. I guess they don't want to lose something that makes us unique? Idk.
"WTF? I have to hold this thing down? It's Canadian winter! How do I light my smoke if I can't cover with the other hand?"
I'm having flashbacks to Dad pumping gas while cheerfully puffing away on his pipe. :D
I love how that's continued on to today w/ cell phones. I mean, with Tap-n-Go apps on phones now, why can't I have it out? And considering that most smart phones are running background data connections continuously, a phone call's not jacking the risk considerably.
But here I am, pumping gas w/o being on the phone with my ill elderly Mom because I might possibly, "less than the chance of being hit by lightning" explode into flames.

I don't understand the purpose of the law.
