Pilot/Flying J Self Checkout

I don't like self-checkout at all. The last thing I want to do when I go to the store is work. If they want me to fill out a W-9 Form and pay me, or even give me 10% off what I'm buying, that's fine, but I really don't want to do someone else's job for free. But that's especially the case at a truck stop when I've just finished a long drive and I run in and grab a few things, the last thing I want to do is play checkout clerk.
I can understand someone, especially a non-trucker, who's just buying a Moon Pie and an RC, they don't want to stand there in line while a trucker is getting paperwork scanned or a Comcheck done or some other time-consuming thing. But for me, I'll have someone else ring it up while I'm getting out my money to pay for it. The PFJs that have self-checkout, will ring your stuff up for you if you want.

More people not working, great. I avoid self checkouts as much as possible no matter where I am. It is getting harder every day to find those kinds of jobs. Shoot, I can even remember a time when there were elevator operators.
Last time I was there they did about 2 months ago.

I'm surprised they haven't made breathing illegal without assistance.
That goes into effect next year.
You've got to leave the pumping of Class 1 Flammable Liquids to the professionals! Except for diesels. Diesel is OK. In New Jersey and Oregon, it is legal for customers to pump their own diesel, although not every station permits diesel customers to do so, but trucks stops do.
For gas in Oregon, getting caught pumping your own and it's a $500 fine. In New Jersey, get caught pumping your own and the gas station, not you, is the one who gets fined, $50-$250 for the first offense, $500 thereafter.
In 2001 in Oregon, they amended the law to allow motorcyclists to pump their own gas. It was awkward having some random person stick the nozzle between your legs as you dutifully sat on the bikes waiting to be serviced. Ahem.

PFJ now has self-serve wifi.
Well, considering I am CV O/O and don't use Comdata, Comchecks, etc., or CAT Scales and all that lovely stuff, when I want my occasional energy drink or slice of pizza, I will be zooming out the door instead of waiting in line. I like it!

Wondered why the big jump in prices, to pay for the new system?
