Safety Reasons.Too many idiots leave the nozzle in the tank and drive off,spill gas and shit.It costs station owners millions for enviromental spills ,so its easier and safer to have a attendant do it

I heard it has to do with keeping unemployment low.

But, I'm with you. When are they going to make this law in California. We already pay for full service and get nothing.

Just do what I do... buy some old beat-up wheelchair at the local Goodwill and throw it in your backseat. When you pull up to the gas pump, get the attendants attention and point to the chair in the back. They'll run right over and pump your gas right away, and take your payment. You won't even need to leave the car!

Best of all, there's no tip involved. Seriously, works perfect!
