I assumed this was the explanation in Oregon--that it was some type of work
program. When I asked the attendant about his presence adding to the cost of
gas, he said someone had to be at the station anyway and if he wasn't
pumping gas he would still be there but just reading a book--that's when he
dropped into the explosion theory. Other attendants I talked to just said
that's the way it's always been; they were freaked out when they traveled to
other states; one attendant said he pulled up to a pump in California and
just stood there for the longest time waiting for someone to pump his gas...

To tie this back to paddling: "paddlers may want to consider gas prices when
travelling on paddling vacations...." :-)
