I don't know what it is. It has been decades since all but a tiny handful of places in the US switched to the way they are now. Nevertheless the occasional lady comes in and wants this or that done for her.
I help, because I was raised well and even if I wasn't I wouldn't want to be the guy that didn't help a lady.
That said, when it happened today I really wanted to explain all of this to the latest damsel in distress.
Convenience store jobs are basically similar to retail jobs. Most of the people that apply at my store seem to be younger women with some background as a cashier somewhere else. The skill set is totally different than that of the old fashioned gas station attendant. Gas just happens to be one of the things we sell.
I may have to make that "I am off the clock" hat reversible with "I am not a full service gas station attendant" on the other side.
