We don't have too many of those in Atl. If you feel like they deserve a tip, then yeah.
Unless it's posted that full service is a lot more expensive...

lol no you don't tip them. here in oregon we aren't allowed to pump our own gas...so if we had to tip the attendants, we'd be broke.

I like having a choice of full service or self... I choose self.

I've only ever gotten full on very few occasions. I didn't tip them.

When I was up in the northeast, I didn't tip any of them. If I can't pump my own gas, I'm not going to pay someone to do it.

Full serve is almost non-existent here.

NC is solely self service. I've never known what it would be like to have someone pump my gas, except of course if I'm riding with someone else.
