> Exposure to toxic fumes represents a health hazard to customers dispensing Class 1 flammable liquids We're not okay with small doses of gasoline fumes to customers, but totally okay with sustained exposure to gasoline fumes to workers in massive, occupational quantities? Here's another terrible argument: > The dangers of crime and slick surfaces described in subsection (3) of this section are enhanced because Oregon’s weather is uniquely adverse Oregon's weather is unusually mild for the United States! Sure, when you compare it to the Mediterranean climate of California it's got distinct seasons and all that. But the weather conditions in at least the Portland area are nothing compared to basically anywhere on the east coast or great lakes region. > The typical practice of charging significantly higher prices for full-service fuel dispensing in states where self-service is permitted at retail: > (a) Discriminates against customers with lower incomes, who are under greater economic pressure to subject themselves to the inconvenience and hazards of self-service; So we're going to just force poor people to pay more for gas.
