Ah, yes, the good ole days...my first job was pumping gas; no wait, actually first job was gopher in hardware store...washed many a windshield, checked many an oil, got confused trying to find where they hid the gas caps, got to beat the crap out of tires and let me tell you, getting hosed with gas BURNS!
All long gone...that's why it's called nostalgia.
