Does Your City Or Town Still Have One Of These?

I remember as a small kid back in the 70s, always, my Mom would go to Full Service Gas Stations. There were many back in the day. As time went on, and Self Serve Gas Stations became the norm, the Full Service Gas Station became almost non existent. Except, they do still exist in some areas. You have to look for them. In my town, we do have just 1. It does cost more to go it, but I am guessing some people don't mind paying a little extra to be waited on and not have to pump the gas themselves. If your town or city has one, do you go there?

There is one in my town. You can serve yourself but nearly always there is someone available to fill your tank for you. They often wash your windscreen as well.

Our town only has two gas stations...no full service - I don't think pump your own gas is allowed in this state. We used on years ago in VA and they charged a fortune for it.

There is one brand that has full serve in the town where I get gas. There are two locations. It costs a bit more so I don't go there unless I am doing a mystery shop. Another town I go to sometimes has a full service gas station too. So they are around.
