pump jockeys
Gas station workers
Pump jockeys are gas station attendants who fill customers' tanks and perform minor services like checking oil or cleaning windshields.
The term evokes the image of someone skillfully handling fuel pumps, parallel to disc jockeys handling records.
Once ubiquitous, pump jockeys have largely disappeared as self-service stations became standard: Back when I was a kid, pump jockeys would check your tires while they filled the tank.
