> Personally I don't like attendants trying to pump petrol for me. It's not exactly a difficult job to do myself, and if they do it, it means both of us have to stand around awkwardly, trying to make conversation about stuff neither of us really care about.

We (my family, me) always stay in the car. The attendant comes to the window and we never have to get out. Often, the attendant is busy pumping gas for multiple cars and running multiple payments to the cashier.

It still has only happened to me in Oregon and Massachusetts, lately.
