One of my first after school and weekend jobs was working in a service station. That was when service actually meant something. Our overalls were brown. We would pump gas, wash windscreens, check and pump up tyres, check and top up
oil and battery as required. All at no charge to the customer (except for
oil top ups). The bell would ring as they drove in and we'd be out there to meet the customer. Everyone there took a lot of pride in their work (I know I did). I have to say I really enjoyed that job at the time. It beat doing a paper round hands down.
This was in about 1983. What happened in the years since....
