I wish someone would still pump gas and clean windshields.

Nobody wanted to pay the costs for that, which is why self-serve took over and full-serve is basically dead. Unless you want to move to New Jersey or Oregon, where the Democrats force you to only have attendants pump your gas, and the lowly peon is not allowed to.

Also, people got tired of having to repair cars that those attendants ruined by putting fluids in the wrong places, putting in the wrong fluids, or destroying the hood trying to get it open.

In Oregon, that is the law. We cannot pump our own gas.

Ah, the good old days. As a teen in the 1960s I worked at several gas stations. Had a spiffy uniform, was told by the boss to automatically lift the hood on each car. If the driver balked and said not to, I was told to try a 2nd and 3rd time before giving up. After popping the hood, I had to check the water and oil. Also had to clean the windshield and check the tires. We did service with a smile.

Here in Joisey they still pump our gas. But they never clean a windshield.

“I wish someone would still pump gas and clean windshields.”

They have that.

They’re called teenagers.
I have a couple I bring along in the car for just such service.
They do a good job and NO TIP is required.

FWIW - Believe it or not, You can’t pump your own gas in New Jersey.

In Illinois they are trying to prohibit self-serve gas pumps...

I personally think there is a place for full-service but I detest govt mandating it.
