Gas was so cheap then I think my father always replied 'fill her up"

There are two states where you cannot pump your own gas. Oregon and...damn my memory, NJ I think. Anyway, I stopped at a gas station in Oregon, pulled up to the pump, got my credit card in hand, turned to open the door and nearly had a heart attack. Standing at my door is a big, big man who says "Cash or credit?" I have no idea why he's asking this and say so. I get the explanation. I get the joy of getting my windshield cleaned since I'm too flipping short to reach the top of the Ford E450 or the middle.
Please don't tell me to get a squeegee with an extended handle. If you can't apply the pressure at the correct angle, it doesn't help.
