When I was a kid, I used to fill the tank for my mom while she sat in the car. It was no big deal; saw many attendants and my dad do it countless times.Growing up outside of Philly I can clearly remember the look of shock on the face (near horror) of a Jersey girl I was seeing when I got to fill my tank on a trip we were on. She had never been out of the state and completely shocked that there was no special training required to do such a dangerous task...
Not sure I remember the attendants doing that but certainly remember my dad doing it with the old Nova we had. It got 50 miles/quart as he said and we need to top off the oil constantly. That was the old school cans with the separate spout that needed to jabbed through the top of the can...When I was a kid, I used to fill the tank for my mom while she sat in the car.

I was kind of sad when the attendants went away when I was a kid. Usually it was an older fellow who would flirt with my mom, and give bubble gum or a sucker to me and my brother. They’d check oil, water, air pressure, and wash the windows. It was all a fascinating show for two little boys watching this old gent move about like a ballerina with his air hose, water hose, squeegee, and that mysterious little tool he kept in his pocket to check the tires. We actually got excited to hear we were going to get gas! My kids have never seen anyone besides their parents pump our gas.
