sump plug gasket- do you need one?

Normally when you remove the plug the washer will be stuck on to the sump (this is why you often find them with 2 washers) & you need to give it a hit with a large screwdriver (palm of hand) to remove it
I replace them every time as they compress when tightened & it is a pain to drop the oil out again if the thing doesn't seal
A lot of people reuse them but i can't see the point for the sake of a couple of dollars & a angry customer if the thing drips
The plug should not be fitted without a washer
Regards Don
