Service stations. Such an old fashioned term. Like Customer Service Officers in banks.

Our service station is staffed during working hours, and unstaffed after hours - there are instructions what to do if you set fire to the place....basically call emergency and run away.

Yeah BP is the worst. The most expensive fuel. No service on the forecourt unlike Z in business hours. Then when you want to pay there is one cashier taking payments for fuel and three other staff making coffees and pies, while you stand in the six long queue waiting to give them money.
If you have to pump your own fuel, just to to NPD/Gull/Waitomo.
