I hate to date myself, but I can remember as a kid working for my Dad at one
of the service stations (that's what they used to be called) he owned in
Orange County Calif. Premium gasoline sold for $0.29 9/10 cents per gallon
and at that time as a gas station employee you would have to wash all the
windows on the car or truck, check all the fluids under the hood and offer to
vacuum out the car or truck and empty the ash trays and check the air
pressure in the tires and there were two employees who waited on each
gasoline customer, one pumping the gasoline and writing up the credit card or
taking the cash and making change and the other doing the other things, so
that the customer did not have to wait very long.
