REMEMBERING THE SERVICE STATIONS
Today I'm remembering the days of "the Service
Station." I am remembering the days when an
attendance filled up our gas tank at each visit.
Routinely they would also ask to check your oil
and clean your windshield. Things have changed
since those days. And I'm not just talking about
the cost of gasoline. Although what I pay for a gallon
now, probably would have filled my tank. These days
I check my own oil and clean my own windshield
whenever possible. Often there no squeegee near
the gas pump and when there is it's usually in a
container without water! The pumps these days are
suppose to print a receipt when you're done
filling the tank. But more often than not I get a
message to "See the Cashier For Receipt" so I
end up having to go inside anyway and
usually have to wait for someone buying a
handful of lottery tickets before I can get that
receipt! Oh for the day is of the service station.
Hope you still have one somewhere around
your neighborhood, that you're well, and that
all your news is good.
