Unfortunately, yes. The NJ gas station owners lobbied the state to outlaw self-service ostensibly because of safety concerns. A station can be fined or worse if caught letting a customer pump their own. I usually stop at one particular station because they don't stop me. I've grown quite tired of waiting for five minutes for a pump jockey to get around to spilling gas on the side of my car! There is a silver lining, however: NJ has the second-lowest average gas prices in the nation.
