It made me think of a piece of waste land in a town I think in West Yorkshire where people parked and paid a man in uniform and money satchel so much for parking. It wasn't until he never turned up one day for work so a regular motorist phoned the local council asking where the parking attendant was. It then came to light that the said land was not an official car park and nothing was known of the attendent. This had been going on for a long time he must have made a fortune.
Good job in paid by card for my fuel.

I read about that a long time ago apparently he carried this out for years. Sure he had made £250k they estimated over the years he did it.

Seem's the fuel rationing due to very limited supply of oil when that war was on, got them to build serve yourself bowsers , as when they tried to ration fuel, the attendants could not always stop customers filling up . now they have full control from counter. they save heaps on employe's. but gave us nothing in return.
i think anyone riding in a drive itself car won't want to have to fill the car up with fuel, forgot they will be electric :'(

Well thought you just meant the free service we all got in 70's before the Gulf war.It was free to the customers but someone had to pay for it... would have been early 70's when I did it ... '72 or '73
