full-serve
Attendant pumps gas
Full-serve describes a gas station where attendants pump fuel for customers, as opposed to self-serve stations where drivers fill their own tanks.
The term extends to any service model where staff handle tasks customers might otherwise do themselves: a full-serve car wash, full-serve brokerage.
The distinction matters most in regions where self-service is standard and full-serve commands a premium.
