That's why there called service stations, my father,RIP, brought up a family of 5 working at a service station, I remember 27 ¢ a gal., as a kid I'd go with a gas can for our lawnmower and get 10 ¢ worth of gas. A dime to mow the lawn a few times.
The film doesn't grasp that the candy and tobacco that the drug store sells should be sold inside. I looked up the history of the Wawa chain. It started as a dairy store, It added sandwiches and became a sandwich shop. It added gas pumps and became a gas station.
Wrong. It was self service gas stations that did it the most. Cars still need tires, oil and belts. Big box and chain stores have taken those as people rarely leave the pump and you don't need a "sales force" pumping gas while looking out for sales. This is reality.
Good one! I run my shop in a similar non-aggressive way. Clients for life!
That's great I would go to a shop like it's hard too find Thank You
Back in the day when we had Service Stations, not just Gas Stations.
👍👍👍
So true
Oh my love for a Sinclair station in my area
My mother when she was 13 ran her father's Sinclair station on Sundays in rural Ohio.
👍👍👍
That's cool
Nobody gave me a trade-in value when I bought my new Goodyears last month. Should have gone to Sinclair.
The enchanted, the mystical, the ephemeral….Island….a place to aspire to.😺
Man, those tires for the car looked like a wheelbarrow tire.
You're in the

The son has been in a lot of films
Hey, tires! Maybe I should pick up an extra.

The attendant holds out a hand of coins for the driver to take his own change... Wow. Or is that what happened?
Back when you could get every service a car needed for $14
And the average person made $14 a day

Quite a comedown for an MGM actor to this suboptimal trash 😺
I know the old timers won't believe it, but this kind of bumper to bumper service went out of fashion after cars got more reliable

Sinclair really seems to have put out a lot of these films.
