Service in Service Station


Now I understand why Yumiko didn't know what how to refuel a car in Finland. In Finland you always have to do it by your self. In Japan, however, things are different.

When you drive in to one of these gas stations all you have to do is open and close you wallet, other than that everything is done for you. At first, the staff signals and guides you to drive in the right spot, where after they come and open your door and inquire your needs. They even ask for any disposable trash. Basically everything is in their consideration.

Service is in two words, all encompassing. But naturally those self-service stations have lower prices than those of full service, which both can be found in Japan.

This concept of high degree service doesn't exist in Finland, so I ask, Which one you prefer: pay extra in your petrol bill, or rather have it done by your self and cheaper?

The photo above holds a nice detail that may be one of its own to save space. The petrol hoses are hanging down from the sealing.
