I thought that too, but the one time in NJ I tried to fill up my truck they wouldn’t turn the pump on until the attendant, who was very busy, came over and did it for me. I stood there right next him the whole time. According to him, I’m not sure if this true, if I touched the pump handle they would turn off the pump.I am not letting someone else pump my gas unless they are wearing a white uniform, a cap with a black visor and white top, and a black bowtie.
