I went to school in NY and anyone who grew up in NJ had no clue how to pump their own gas when they got to college.

My mom had never pumped her own gas until she was ~50 and couldn't find a full serve one time. And then she had to ask for help.

My mom has never pumped gas. She always gets my dad to fill her car up when she needs gas.

When I was 15 and working at a gas station, old people would always tip. People under 45 never would. Supposedly tipping at a gas station was commonplace back in the day. I guess now people just expect you to check their oil and power steering fluid and squeege their windshields when they buy $5 of gas and there's a line of cars backed up the street honking at you.

That list is bogus.

Not as much of an issue now as when I used to drive between Philly and Boston at least once a month, but I try to fill up whenever I'm passing through NJ because the gas is considerably cheaper there than in PA or especially NY/CT/MA. I'll throw the guy a single if I have one, if not though I don't feel bad about it.

no one spots a trend like the Globe!

Oh no! It's the check. | One diner orders lobster and another gets chicken. Should they split the bill? In this economy, all diners turn into mathematicians when it's time to pay.

I don't know how to pump gas :oops:

Welcome to dining in a lousy economy. The recession has famously driven diners from restaurants and forced those who still do go out to share entrees and skip dessert.

Wait... do you ask for two plates or something? Has anyone ever done this?

More importantly how are you going to determine who at the bigger portion of the entree and how much they owe? Do you just split it down the middle? What if it's Surf and Turf or something that comes with three shrimp? I think they need to expand on this article some more.

I don't know what's not to know. It never made any sense to me when she'd tell me that.
