If I head over the bridge to New Jersey, they will pump my gas for me. If I stay in PA, I get gas at my mechanic's. They will "service" the car for me if I ask them to but they are usually pretty busy because they are good at what they do.
I miss certain seeing the pride and quality in the services provided. I still see it sometimes but there is such a lack of pride and quality is the service industry.
Our checkers bag groceries. Sometimes I will help if they look like they are struggling or tired. I miss cashiers that actually did more than scan. Now it seems I have to do all the work. Swipe my own card, practically run the register to pay from that key pad. I miss being able to hand them a check or card and let them take care of it.
I miss gas station attendants who checked my oil, cleaned my windshield, and pumped my gas. And gave out free glasses. Okay, I was a little girl, but I do remember all that.
I miss food in coach. I miss dressing room attendants who helped you. Even Nordstrom's is getting a little lax about it. They used to come in and pin for alterations, too, which the store provided. I miss the tea room at Bullock's Wilshire.
We haven't had bag boys since I was a kid. The cashier bags as they scan.
We have 1 full service station left. They are in the dead center of town. I used them frequently when the kids were small. It was worth not having to get 3 kids out and back in car seats just to get gas.

Really? That happens here in the 15 or less lane, but, the other lanes have baggers. I've never been to a store that didnt have baggers. And they take your groceries to your car and load them too. Kroger, Publix, Food Lion...all of them...

I didn't have a card to stick in a slot. Cash was all I had until about 2 years ago.
And no, I didn't leave my kids in the car as babies to go pay for gas.
I don't care what think or what you did with yours.

I kind of miss being able to go to the hairdresser when it was ASSUMED that getting a haircut meant washing your hair, putting in conditioner, cutting and styling, blowing it dry, curling and whatever else. Now it's ala carte and you dont' know what the price is going to be unless you SPELL it out before you get it done. Sheesh!
It was a full service appointment and you left relaxed and pretty.
Now it's get in, get out.

Come to my guy! All that plus ****tails! And he matches all his fun clients up. It is like a party in there!
There are full service things I don't like as well, lol. I HATE fussy hotels with valet parking and bell boys and that crap. No thanks.
OH!!! I LOVE them!!!
True story:
One time, we were supposed to be in a suite, but the previous guests had trashed it and another room wasn't going to be available until the next day. So we were put into another room. Not a problem at all. We could get to the suite about 3:00 the next day.
Well, we were at the pool about 11:00 and one of the hotel workers came out and told us that our room was ready and that he was sending a couple of guys up to pack our bags and move us. Um NO!!!! I couldn't remember what I had left where and I didn't want anyone touching my open luggage! He was really shocked that I kinda freaked out...

Nice but I agree with you! Weird! Gonna pick up my toothbrush?
I think Disney has THE BEST service of any place I have ever been.
From the online assistance to the people working in the parks.
It didn't matter where we were, what we needed, or question we had, they were on top of everything.
Often before you asked.
That place will spoil you rotten.

I love my gal. I only go for highlights (maybe twice a year) and a perm (once a year). I get a trim every time I go and she does everything. I don't need my hair blown dry, but I let her do a little so I don't hurt her feelings.
We have a business called Delivery Dudes that, for a fee, will pick up just about anything from anywhere and deliver it. They have an app. We've used them a few times...

We have one called grub hub but I think the restaurant has to be a member or pay a fee or whatever. You can't just send them any old place. Delivery Dudes sound like enterprising guys! Kudos to them!

The salon I go to has all these things included when you go for a cut and blow dry.
