An indicator of the times, via the Spokesman-Review‘s Huckleberries blog: “Coeur d’Alene faced another loss this month. Its only full-service gas station closed. Many people with a wide assortment of impairments cannot perform those seemingly simple duties offered by a full-service gas station attendant. Each withdrawal of such a service takes a new toll on people who are already challenged by daily living.”
It’s a useful point. (Dave Oliveria adds, “It would be nice if a gas station offered curb service at certain times of the week. And mebbe profitable.”)
And maybe useful too as a comeback from Oregonians who put up with snickering from their neighbors about the illegality of self-serve gas: At least service, oftimes mechanical as well as for fuel, is still available.
