filling station attendant
A filling station attendant, gas station attendant (United States and Canada), or gas jockey (US), is a worker at a full-service filling station who performs services other than accepting payment. Tasks usually include pumping fuel, cleaning windshields, and checking vehicle oil levels. Prior to the introduction of self-starting vehicle engines, attendants would also start vehicle engines by manually turning the crankshaft with a hand crank.
In the United States, gas jockeys were often tipped for their services,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.chevroncars.com/learn/cars/history-of-gasoline )〕 but this is now rare as full-service stations are uncommon except in New Jersey and Oregon where retail customers are prohibited by law from pumping their own gasoline (self-serve gas stations are banned).
Filling station attendants are still employed at gas stations in many countries. South African stations, for example, generally offer only full-service. Stations in Indonesia often employ women as filling station attendants, many of whom wear uniforms designed to include the traditional hijab.
==History==
Early filling stations were usually located at general stores, where gasoline would be put in buckets and funneled into vehicles. Most early stations were little more than a manually powered roadside pump operated by an attendant.
