 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...
