Since you are in PA, I can't answer that for your state, but in Virginia, there is a printed procedure on the pump itself for those who are disabled and/or need someone inside to come out and assist them.

As an outsider visiting NJ it bugs me, but what I think doesn't matter because I don't live there.

When I was younger, I've been known to squeeze myself into that spot on the left (assuming the black Edge/Escape wasn't there), and put my folded mirror 1/2" off their driver's door. Care too much about my cars to do that now though.

Having a wife from NJ and spending time in NJ, NJ is different than the rest of the US in a lot of ways. They have unique ways of doing things and they don't like to be told that they need to do things a specific way. They like to do their own thing, and they have a very strong identity and pride in their state, and feel that there is a NJ "way of life". There is a very strong culture there that is unique. Good for them I say.
Thats the great thing about living in a country with different states...they don't all have to be the same.

Life is odd. Nobody else has had 70 years of compulsory full service, so they haven't had to make that decision to move away from that. If every state had the history with full service NJ does you have no idea how those other states would vote.
