Are mandatory gas attendants coming to Chicago?

February 11, 2020 | jnettlebeck

Law makers have proposed a bill that would make it so you can no longer pump your own gas next year.

That’s right, like some other states, Illinois is thinking about bringing back gas station attendants.

There are both pros and cons about this situation

Pros

  • More jobs for Chicago
  • No more filling up gas in the winter
  • feel like a fancy pants getting someone else to pump your gas

Cons

  • Let me pump my own damn gas
  • Now we have to tip another person!
  • What if there’s only one person and two cars… I don’t want to wait!
  • LET ME PUMP MY OWN DAMN GAS IT’S MY RIGHT

If the bill is put into action, gas attendants could be mandatory as early as next year.
