I dunno. I just filled my tank for $1.70/ gallon but I didn't have some guy
rush out to wash my windshield or check the oil or put the air in my tires.
To me that's what "full service" means. I haven't seen that scenario in
years. And I've been pumping my own gasoline since the 1970's

We must have our wires crossed. My bank doesn't charge if I bring in rolled
coins. And I don't use their machine to count them. I just count them,
wrap them, take them in... no charge.
