I remember when there were attendants and changing stations to find an attendant. It was such a delight when they later added covers over the pump area.
What beautiful petrol station! I think it may be the nicest I’ve ever seen.
In the US the attendants used to clean the windscreen and if you asked check your oil. I remember my father would have them add a quart of oil if it was low. When he would go inside to pay he would usually bring mother and I a treat. Gee, this photo brought back memories. Thank you Diana.
I’ve never seen a gas station with such beautiful architecture before. I remember when they always cleaned the windscreen and would check the oil and tire pressure if asked.
It was not all that great Diana. My very first job was working in a service station in 1962 when I was still at school. The old pumps didn’t automatically stop when the tank was full. So you had to get close to the nozzle and try to hear when the tank was full. You knew it was full when the petrol gushed out all over your head!!!
Lovely photo though!!
@wakelys@joansmor@carole_sandford@illinilass@shutterbug49 We still have attendants here and they automatically wash your windscreen and ask if they need to check oil or tyres.
It is a great service and gives many people jobs. I don't think you are allowed to do it yourself :-)
I love this shot, Diana, with the pops of yellow against the white! And what great memories for so many of us! Glad to hear that in SA you still have attendants. Fav
