If I ever did a full service, I would for sure.

1. Rarely do I let someone pump for me, so if I end up at full service it’s due to lack of options.
2. It’s not like a restaurant and can tip on a credit card, so no as I never carry cash.

yep there was one in Rochester i would frequent because it was always .10$ cheaper than the DIY stations. Id always throw the guy an extra buck or two. Now I could see not tipping maybe in a state where every station is full service.

They all are in NJ. Gas is much cheaper there, so you still make out.

if I end up at a full service pump it’s because I’m in a state that requires it (like NJ). so no tip.

I will go out of my way to pump my own gas. I don’t even have nice cars, I just hate the fact that they always find a way to dump gas all over the side of my car so I have to smell it on the way home. Plus I hate the “do I tip” dilemma, and I’m also cheap.🙂 I even pump my own on the res. Once in a blizzard I gave a few bucks at the Salamanca res- that guy deserved it.

I spent quite a bit of time pumping gas at a full service station on the rez back home during high school and summer breaks. If the guy does something to warrant a tip (check the oil or wash the window etc) I’ll tip a buck, maybe two if the windshield was real bad with bugs and he did a good job. If he just stands there and watches the gas fill up I don’t.
When I was doing the job I never felt I deserved a tip if all I did was put some gas in. Generally I’d make enough to pay for a burger and fries fries from the cheap restaurant up the street and definitely appreciated it. The regular tippers definitely got preferential service (all windows washed, free top off of washer fluid even when we weren’t officially offering that with a fillup, priority over other customers etc).

Wouldn’t tipping be the same as paying the extra ten cents per gallon to do it yourself if not more?

I love tipping people for their work… I didn’t even know I was suppose to or people did tip the full services dudes
But I don’t go to them … you have no idea how many times they have put in 87 or have gotten close to putting 87, in my tank, when I tell them 93 only
