    Don't you get tired of the comments when us "old guys" like to reminisce of the good ole days? Yeah there were problems just like any generation, but people miss the point about the simpler times we lived in.

    I remember when self serve gas first started. I thought to myself, don't you have to be trained to operate a gas pump???

    Some people are just energy vampires. They're just miserable and want to suck the energy out of you with their negativity.

    If a "service station" like the one in the video opened anywhere near me, I wouldn't go anywhere else for gas. I still remember as a kid going to stations like this, I even had a buddy that worked at the last one in the area back in the early 80's. It really was all about providing great service to the customers... THAT, is the thing I miss most.

    Yes, remember it and know it well. Started working at a Gulf Station in 1959 while in Jr. High until 1964.

    Ha! I remember them, our paperboy had one when he came to collect and I envied it. When I started delivering papers I could care less about having one because most of my change went in the pinball machines and to the candy counter at the corner store

    Navin R. Johnson was the best service attendant I have ever seen.

    Remember full service very well in the 1960s. Just not like that.
