Oh yeah, libs think everyone needs to be “qualified” (guns, anyone?), that every task is difficult (thus worth $$$$$$ in labor vs. intellectual professionals), and every task needs licensing.

This statement fits in perfectly. “I am not licensed to pull out a pump” so cannot possibly understand how to do it!

That said, I really do miss the full-service stations. At least in the days when people valued their jobs and respected bosses and customers.

The father of one of my childhood friends owned a full-service gas station. When I would visit the station as a kid, I marveled at the flurry of activity when a car drove up to a pump. The attendant speedily cleaned the windshield, checked all the fluids, checked the tire pressure, and filled the tank. Also, it was all done with courtesy and a smile.

I miss it when I have to clean the window and check the tires. I’ve seen a few stations that have a full service isle to give customers a choice. Tips welcome.
