Not anymore. I'm actually old enough to have worked the "serviced lane", or "full service" as it was called in the U. S. If you are disabled, there is still the option to have an attendant come out an pump it for you (I have never even seen this, let alone experienced it). Otherwise, I haven't seen a full service lane in probably twenty years, save Oregon and New Jersey, where it self-service is illegal (unless you're on a motorcycle).
As a side note, barely-above minimum wage though it was, I loved that job. Kinda sucked in the Indiana winters, but otherwise stand outside all day and talk to people.
Side-side note: as a former "professional", I'll admit I got bored after 1976, so I have no score to post.

- jdashg 5y agoThey exist still! It's just so rare, because it's up to the station. I know of at least one near downtown San Jose that has a full service lane.
