I remember most of what is shown in this video (DING DING!) from my childhood, especially on summer road trips to visit relatives. A couple of comic books from a rotating rack in the service station, and a bag of chips for each of us kids kept us happy for a few hours.
By 1980 when I started driving, these kind of stations were mostly gone, replaced by self serve stations with small kiosks to pay at.
