>>8175858 Under Illinois House Bill 4571, The Gas Station Attendant Act, Only Dedicated Employees Would Be Allowed To Pump Gas

Kek.

This makes me smile. (Old fag of course) but, it use to be that way, which created great jobs for people.

You would pull up, they would pump your gas, wash your windows, even check your oil if you asked.

The day they started replacing people with those stupid machines, everybody was bitching about how they did it to get rid of jobs, and we all had to stand in the cold and the rain ourselves to do it.

Now, no one is old enough to remember what "service station" meant.

I say do it.

Lets create jobs and tell these tech people replacing people with machines it not always what either human being wants, the person serving, or the person who gets the great service. McDonalds wants you to use a machine now. There went McDonalds. <spit>.

Now… it would be really great. Might cost you a little tip, but, there were no "stores" at gas stations back then either.

Can everyone imagine being able to ask the attendant "Hey, I have a baby in the car, can you run get me some milk, bread, etc?

No more parents having to figure out how to leave the car to run in for essentials (for which you can get into big trouble)

Hell, first gas station to come up with a "One Stop Mommy Shop" or better: "Daddy's Drive Through Filling Station" for pick up home cooked soups, pizzas, roast chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, diapers, etc etc etc…. THAT person fills a monster niche. Fill up, get home cooked real food, and take home dinner so two exhausted people can eat and have time for homework, laundry etc etc.

This is what happened to our country. All about money. Never about serving your neighbor, figuring out what people need most, and finding a way to make things easy for one another.

The little jobs in the community cause the money circulate round and round in the community before it leaves for another town through some 1% 'er owned chain store, or worse, out of the country through some nasty Walmart town economy killer.

JMHO

Twas the good old days.

>i agree anon but lets give them a choice. i would rather pay a bit more and give someone a job.

>no mandate/force is wrong on any block.

Yep. Choice is the best I think.

But, there is a need for people with children to get what they need without having to leave the car. Everyone is always looking for a business niche market, and having been a parent, this whole "fill it yourself" thing was a REAL problem.

And job creation is what creating an economy is all about. We have one grocery story that loads your food on a conveyor, where you drive up and they load your car. It has a whole section of home cooked meals for one or two you can take home. Meatloaf, fish, chicken dishes. Works great for the elderly, and parents who find themselves crammed for time on certain days.

Another grocery store where the food is still in the cardboard boxes it was loaded off the truck in, no bags, find empty boxes, or bring your own bags, carry it yourself.

Obviously one is cheaper than the other.

When you are pregnant or you are injured or old, the "service grocer" gets the people.

I like it.

One employs tons of people, including the disabled in town.

The second employs hardly anyone. Loaders, couple cashiers.

Yep.

Make Gas Stations Great Again!!!!

>>8178359

That's right.

I forgot about that.

Texico. Young people today have no clue how good we had it.
