I just went through attraction photos to do a bit of scrapbooking and I noticed one taken on POTC with me grinning madly in the front seat and the couple behind me having a bit of a to do, he looks really angy and she looks upset. I'm not going to upload the photo for their privacy, but, it's sometimes good to know where the camera is.

Curious -- do you have both options in Texas? Most stations up here are self service, but we all have full service stations as well.It blows my mind that there are 2 states, and 2 areas in 2 other states where you still can’t pump your own freakin’ gas…WTH…?!!!!!

I have a photo of me and my mom "fighting" on TofT. We were each trying to give the other bunny ears, and it just resulted in hair pulling and slapping the other's hands away. It's so funny.

We don't here. All self service.
I think I've told this story before, but I was working on a project freshman year of college when in the middle of it, my partner got a call from her roommate who was from NJ...asking how to pump gas.

I love a lot of American things (of course) and a couple of years ago I discovered Pluto TV, a free streaming service owned now by CBS and Viacom and as I have a VPN that uses locations I can watch American TV with American adverts and pretend I'm sitting in my resort roomI was like why did the Bob Saget thread got locked and then I saw this thread. But in reply to @StarWarsGirl95
Most of my music, TV shows and news is foreign. Yes, I get British news about America. BBC America and I are best friends. When I get my own place....I don't see the need for cable, the only channels I watch are ABC, BBC and USA. Though having no sports or live entertainment would stink.
Out of the music I like, about half is British. I have shirts, Liverpool stuff, British things for the house. I say British words. I like their sense of humour. My parents wonder where they got me. Favorite actors/actresses are British but you get the idea.
I love the insurance ads, especially the Geico and Liberty Mutual ones, so funny. The only streaming service I have is Disney+, naturally, and they have a US platform too, so I have access to both US and UK Disney+. My house is full of stuff I picked up from WalMart and Target and my last trip I finally discovered Dollar Tree, so much craft stuff and sooooo cheap and most of my clothes were bought over there too, again, soooo cheap. I'm a baseball nut too. Lets Go Mets!By the way, to any Brits looking at this or Americans with location based VPNs who want to take a look at the UK Pluto platform, it's completely legit althought the British platform is a bit duff.

Oh, I wish my photo was that, that'd be funny.I have a photo of me and my mom "fighting" on TofT. We were each trying to give the other bunny ears, and it just resulted in hair pulling and slapping the other's hands away. It's so funny.

I haven’t seen a full-service station anywhere in Texas in decades.
I know there was one down on The Drag by UT back in the 80’s, but, that’s the last one I ever remember seeing.
I’ve been pumping my own gas since I was 15…44+ years.

I enjoy not having to get out of the car when it's cold, raining, snowing or if I'm dressed nicely.It blows my mind that there are 2 states, and 2 areas in 2 other states where you still can’t pump your own freakin’ gas…WTH…?!!!!!
So you only have to worry about three of these things.I enjoy not having to get out of the car when it's cold, raining, snowing or if I'm dressed nicely.

Here is the complete opposite. Every station has an attendant.

I wonder how that affects gas prices…?
All small convenience stores here have only one clerk, even if they have about 10 self-serve pumps. One employee on the clock, as opposed to several.
