Those Basking Ridge people are an unusual lot.
I should know. I've been married to one for 42 years.

I wouldn't be giving them the tanks, far too expensive! and I'd probably just take the stickers off anyway, as any experiment it'd be under strict supervision.Make sure you only use oxygen-ready tanks for your air fills. Don't put nitrox stickers on air only tanks. If a diver takes it to the shop for filling, the shop might assume the diver wants nitrox. This could create an exposion hazard. But you probably knew this already so it's a friendly reminder.

I actually had what seemed to be a new shop employee at my go-to shop balk at me asking for air in a bail-out bottle that had a yellow/green sticker on it:
"But it's got a nitrox sticker on it!" said he.
"No, it doesn't," I replied, and pointed out what the sticker said

I have just such a sticker. You got it with the Oxygen Hacker's Guide.

For the last few years, I've been getting fills from a guy in his garage with common sense, that I now despair at the thought of having to ever go back to a shop again.
How are you filling your own air? And what locations do you dive at near Basking Ridge? I am also from New Jersey but I'm a ways south from you.
