A filling station attendant or gas station attendant (also known as a gas jockey in the US and Canada) is a worker at a full-service filling station who performs services other than accepting payment. Tasks usually include pumping fuel, cleaning windshields, and checking vehicle oil levels. Prior to the introduction of self-starting vehicle engines, attendants would also start vehicle engines by manually turning the crankshaft with a hand crank.

  • A filling station attendant or gas station attendant (also known as a gas jockey in the US and Canada) is a worker at a full-service filling station who performs services other than accepting payment. Tasks usually include pumping fuel, cleaning windshields, and checking vehicle oil levels. Prior to the introduction of self-starting vehicle engines, attendants would also start vehicle engines by manually turning the crankshaft with a hand crank. In the United States, gas jockeys were often tipped for their services, but this is now rare as full-service stations are uncommon except in the states New Jersey and Oregon (counties with more than 40,000 residents), the town of Weymouth, Massachusetts, and the town of Huntington, New York, where retail customers are prohibited by law from pumping their own gasoline. Filling station attendants are still employed at gas stations in many countries. In Finland, for example, filling station attendants are currently only used at Shell's service stations. South African stations generally offer only full-service. Stations in Indonesia often employ women as filling station attendants, many of whom wear uniforms designed to include the traditional hijab. In Egypt, attendants are employed at every station and tipping them is customary. Cleaning windshields and checking tire pressure are their main tasks besides filling up. (en)
  • O frentista de posto de combustível, ou simplesmente Frentista, é o profissional que trabalha na linha de frente de um posto de combustível. Além de abastecer os automóveis com combustíveis, eles também realizam outras atribuições, como limpeza de pára-brisas e verificação dos níveis de óleo do veículo. Antes da introdução de motores de veículos com partida automática, os frentistas também ligavam os motores dos veículos girando manualmente o virabrequim com uma manivela. A profissão de frentista foi inicialmente criada com vistas à segurança, pois o processo de reabastecimento deveria ser deixado para os profissionais devido ao risco de acidentes. Atualmente, na maioria dos países ocidentais, os frentistas não são comuns e geralmente são considerados um tanto nostálgicos. Apesar da crença comum de que no EUA não existe frentistas em postos de combustíveis, e, de fato, ser algo incomum por lá, nos estados de Nova Jersey e Oregon (condados com mais de 40.000 habitantes), na cidade de Weymouth, Massachusetts, e na cidade de Huntington, Nova York, os frentistas ainda existem, já que nestes locais o auto-abastecimento é proibido por lei.
