Self-serve or Full-serve gas?

[Anonymous]

I only buy self-serve gas, but about 20 years ago ALL
gas stations were full-serve!

That means that the pump-jockey actually filled your
tank while you sat in your car.

I was a pump-jockey a loooong time ago.
Gas was about .35 cents!!

Can’t think of any station around here that still has full service gas. Guess that’s as much of a historical thing as a dial telephone now.

Self-Serve. In my area there are only 3 Full Service Stations, one is less than 1/2 mile from a retirement condo, most of their business is from them…

In my area one pump is usually full-serve.

Also, the stations that DON’T have full-serve usually
do have handicap service.

I don’t know of any full service stations in the area I live. I am sure there are, just well hidden.

Around by me here in central WI I buy all self serve but some stations around here are full serve on certain days of the month.. usually on hrs I have to work tho

So they rotate it by days? That’s interesting. How often do they have full-serve?

Do they raise the price of the gas or does it stay the same on the full serve days? Interesting idea.
