Perhaps you do not remember but the old gas stations of yester year included quite a bit of more service than those of today. Today you are often forced to go into the impulse C-Store from hell with all sorts of items practically falling on you, simply to get the darn pump turned on. And forget a free window cleaning unless you allow some homeless guy to spit on your window and wipe it clean and then tell him where to stick it when he puts out his hand for some donation over a couple of bucks.

Indeed customer service has changed but why? It is not as if the customers said; Hey we do not want customer service anymore, No Sir, not us. Is it worth more money for customer service? Sure it is and we often vote with our dollar for it in many ways. We might pay more for a cup of coffee or shop at a different store, which we know to have slightly higher prices; why? Customer Service of course.

As I travel across the United States occasionally I do go to a service station off the beaten path, which still gives good old-fashioned country style great service. But for every one of these gas stations that I go to; I most certainly fill up at least a hundred times where I get ho-hum service or none at all.
