I was thinking that yesterday. I hate those things and I’ve never been able to find a mute button.Female engineers must be designing all the modern gas pumps now because they won't shut up!
No, I don't want to buy a fuel additive. No, I don't need to hear about all the latest entertainment news from my gas pump. I just want to pump my gas and go!
My preferred convenience store has that feature gong back a year or two, I don’t like it a bit. I grew up in the 50s and 60s and there were attendants pumping gas then. I like pleasant talking store clerks too but they’re hard to find now days.
I grew up in the same era as you. My family ran a service station for years beside I-95 it was an Amoco full service station. Last full service station I knew about was in Florence SC when we lived there. The old Gentleman who ran it would not give it up it was a Texaco. He told me one day that he had more ladies buying his gas than men because the ladies didn't want to pump their own gas for fearing of gasoline splashing on them sometimes. I pumped many thousands of gallons of Amoco gasoline back in the day.
Yup, regular, unleaded or high test. Checked the oil too.
And washed the windshield as well.
Yup, forgot about that.
Especially if the driver was hawt and wearing a short skirt. The windshield got extra attention!
Yep, them gals knew how to hike them skirts up when we washed the windshield for them, and smiling all the time they knew what they were doing to us young teen-agers at the time.
