I'll start with something helpful, as bikers have been dealing with this for a while in more populous states with tougher emissions laws. Here's an example of a simple device to hold the corrugated hose part of the nozzle out of the way courtesy of the folks at Aerostitch. I'm sure there are others, here's a LINK
I live in Oregon and moved here from New Jersey. What I noticed was that in surrounding states that went to self pumping gas the prices didn't go down, and in many cases it went up. People were used to paying X for gas and the extra savings either went to taxes, profits, or both. So no real societal improvement. I pumped gas as a young man and had no trouble hustling around to several cars at once, gassing them up, washing windows, checking oil, making change, etc. I took pride in it. That stuff came in waves anyway, it was never too bad for too long. It was a great training ground for future work and school. Same thing with bagging or boxing groceries, paperboy, etc. (insert dad joke here: "I thought you'd grow up to be a professional boxer...boxing fruits and vegetables at the A&P.") Those jobs are gone now. It's like Ikea furniture. Your couch costs the same as always, but you have to deliver it and assemble it yourself now. An example of offloading manufacturing and distribution to the consumer.
There is zero problem around here pumping your own if you own something nice or unusual. The attendants will stay close by, but they're happy not to scratch your nice ride or spill gas in your crotch if you're riding bike. State law allows you to pump your own in rural counties, and you can pump your own diesel anywhere because it's not as flammable as gasoline and considered less dangerous in the hands of the average moron. I'm not so sure about that. Morons prove to be unusually creative from time to time.
