All stations are full serve only, so yes there are still attendants. You just sit there and wait to be served. What angers me the most is needing gas late at night and there only being 1 attendant working at a station that has 30 pumps but only 5 are open. The rest are usually blocked off with cones. The wait can be absurd sometimes. You wouldn't believe the looks some folks give me when I get out to pump my own gas when it's snowing or raining heavily. I know so many NJ residents that have NEVER pumped their own gas before and wouldn't know how if they needed to. When traveling to PA or neighboring states, they simply fill up prior to crossing state lines.

No, they don't get tips, I can't rationalize tipping them when state law mandates are the reason their jobs exist in the first place. I know some states have self and full serve, and gas costs more when attendants in those states pump your gas for you.
