   Amen. The water gets changed once a year whether it needs it or not,

   If you’re lucky enough to even FIND one with any water in it at all.

   ‘brightr1’ and ’KasparV ’ have got it right. The attendants think it is beneath them to change the water or refill the paper towels!

   ignored by the same low status type, who directs you into their clutches by not refilling the printer. Go inside and we can better delay you. And you don’t want to visit their johns…

   what are you talkin’?
   I just drive my ’58 Plymouth Fury across the hose at the filling station alerting the attendant who comes out and fills up my tank, checks the oil and wipes my windshield down while I wait. If I pay by credit card, he brings out the little slider gadget and creates the receipt for me to sign.
   then I turn the ignition and listen to the low rumbling of the V8 engine , put it into gear and drive off , listening to the latest rock and roll hits on the AM radio.

   Gas stations got johns? I though they were only available in truck stops.

   Now I put Rain-x on the windshield all the time and it works so well I don’t have these problems anymore.

   I learned to drive and took my driving test in my dad’s ’59 Plymouth station wagon. That thing was huge! I used to say that the Navy could land jets on the roof.

    I learned to drive on my Dad’s 63 Chevy. I’m so short, I needed a pillow in the seat to see over the steering wheel.

    The “service” in service stations is merely an antiquated figure of speech.

    Bobzilla: I still call them filling stations, and I do the filling.
