RE: Self Serve vs. Attendant Pumped Gas I love this thread. It comes up about once a year. Sometimes it starts with "I'm in Oregon (or New Jersy) and they won't let me pump my own gas" or it starts "I really miss the old days of full service gas stations". The latter always from those of us with thin, gray, or no hair, the former from the younger generations. There will be at least one story about the attendant that tried to put the gas into the '710' cap in the back. And there will be a least one mention of gas in a diesel (talk to Susan on WetWesties). And I could (but won't) tell some tales about car owners, tales from working in a 'full service' all night station in the mid '60's Yes, times change. And thank someone the 'good old days' are gone.... |
