Full serve used to cost around 10 cents a gallon more in states that
offered both. If self-checkout gives me a discount, sure, I'll do your
job for you!
There was a gas station near one town over when I grew up. Full-service
was fading as it was not much more than someone putting the nozzle in
your car.
This place had guys wearing coveralls with their names on them, they
would check your tires, your oil, top off your radiator and washer
fluid, and wash *all* of your windows with towels and a spray bottle
instead of a squeegee. We'd go there before taking a girl out on a
date...
