    I remember full service stations. They would check your oil, coolant, and tire pressure levels while the pump ran. The last time I saw that I was still a very young child, and I’m in my 50’s now.

      I worked a full service shell station eastbound on hwy 401 towards Montreal from 2004 till 2006 where we did all of this except for coolant. I made some mad tips back then!

      I remember going into Oregon in the last couple years and thinking how odd it was that they had to come pump my gas.

        They actually did away with that within maybe the last two years or so. I was visiting Oregon when people were first allowed to pump their own gas and it was a cluster fuck at the pumps because no one knew what they were doing.
