GAS: Plea for help at pump

| September 14, 2013 9:00 PM

Hopefully you will print this plea for a real live attendant to pump gas for senior drivers during this forthcoming winter.

We appreciate all the kindnesses our community affords us, but what we desperately need is at least one gas station that will provide this service.

It’s no fun when one has reached the 70s and 80s, and still be alert and very capable of driving, to have to be exposed to the winter elements of ice and single-degree weather, walk on ice into the store to pay in advance, then walk back to the car, then pump one’s own gas, etc.

Can’t we take Oregon’s example and have even one station, one day a week, that can provide this much-needed service?

Somebody — hear me, please!
