Yes, my dad owned an ESSO Franchise from '55-'79. It was a full service station. If the customer had time and shut off the engine or pulled the car ahead, we'd check the oil, tires, battery water and all other fluids, & clean the windshield and offer the use of the facilities.
It was hard to take care of customers with all of that attention to detail when there was a line of cars waiting for gas.
You wouldn't believe what customers would ask for sometimes.
Often a customer or non-customer(pulling up to the pumps/bell ringing) would pull in front of the gas pumps, completely blocking the pumps/not wanting gas, and ask if we could bring out the phone book to them or just wanted directions...never getting out of their car and coming inside!
Often it'd be pouring rain outside. This would PO dad to no end! Ya think?
