I don’t remember many people fussing about self service gas. In fact I helped a friend of my Granddads occasionally at his station when it was full/self service depending on which pumps you pulled up to, same price there by the way, and seemed like with the exception of elderly women and the occasional person wanting the oil checked and windshield cleaned most used self service.

I usually walked out and washed the windshield and collected the money anyway if I wasn’t busy.
