How much would you be willing to pay?
Because this makes me wonder if station owners would allow independent workers to operate in their driveways. The gas is at the regular price and self serve is an option. But if you prefer, the bum who used to wash windscreens at the traffic lights will do any of the following:
pump your gas ... $1
wash your glass ...$1
check your tires ...$1
check your oil ......$1
sell you crack ... (negotiable)
S/he might spend 10 or 15 minutes doing a full check on a car, and so, allowing for downtime, might make $10-15 per hour.
I can foresee potential problems... safety for the workers, public liability, risk of scamming gas money, tax questions... What do you think? Would you pay?
