Full Service Station (Texas Country Reporter) 

Right there is a good man. A smart one too. A few points to think on. 1.) He makes a small profit on every gallon sold. 2.) He sells a lot more gallons with his service. 3.) His life is a lot better and more people love him for the way he does business. 4.) How can we all make a difference? 5.) Now go do something for someone.

"I think the world is going a bit too fast "

I think there is a market for this old style service in today's world. I'd love to do this...I think it would be a nice way to make a living..

It's August 2020, I miss this kind of service and people talk to each other.

I’m 29, I’ve come to the conclusion that I definitely grew up in the wrong time period

me and my twin bro still work and pump gas at a full service station in new jersey, ironically called twin towers service station. people love it and know what to expect from us, checking tires, oil, washing windows. family owned business for 80 years and all the workers take pride in it.

His business keeps moving forward by doing it the old fashioned way! Personal connection, A1 service, trust and convenience. Wish there were more places like this!

Kings station in Gonzales,Tx is just like this. Full service, family owned.

Lord, I pray your blessings on this gentleman.

This is old school, real America, sad to see it disappear

We had a place like this in Jefferson SC. The man that ran the place was called Honey. Everybody referred to the place as Honey's. They sold gas full service, new tires, tire repair and had an on premises alcohol license. Local people sat around in the station and talked for hours. You could drink a few beers and get some to go. There was no drunks around and all the men folks where respectful to women and children. Honey opened at 6am and closed promptly at 7pm. It was a very unique place I am 40 years old now and grew up going in and out of that place and hanging around in the station as I got older though I was never a drinker. I always liked going for the conversation and entertainment. It all started changing about the mid 2000s. All the older men that where retired and always anchored the conversation died and nobody replaced them. The younger generations are now walking around staring at there cell phone. Google solves all the arguments in an instant there no longer any reason to get atlas out. They lost there in ground tank permit about 10 years ago and had to quite sell gas and beer. It is a full service tire and auto repair shop now run by Honeys son and grandson. Honey went station every day until he got sick and died a few years ago. Honeys use to be a magical place for me and hold a lot of special memories from growing up and my 20s. Society has changed tremendously in the past 20 years. people are losing touch with one another. If there is a placed left like this in your part of the world don't take it for granted.

What a cool place , I miss the old days such a simpler and beautiful world it was back then !! His face features and the way he talks remind me of the country singer Allen Jackson .

thanks for uploading real life of humanism which already rare in states.

This is the Texas reason I came to texas...but after 7 months this is the only part of Texas that still exists. Hope one day I have reason to come back God Bless Texas

I’ve watched and commented on several videos this evening. I like your journalism. It’s something this country lacks today.

I wish the full service station coming back someday.

God bless this man and his family there a dying breed he will be greatly missed also God bless Texas

I would go out of my way for a place like this..

I like the older pumps, no digital pumps.

Man we need stations like this around here

I remember years ago the old country towns out west where there's still Service Stations like Sinclair, Texaco, Phillips 66. Here in Michigan it's boring and fast and greedy. This put a tear in my eye of remembrance of my childhood in the 70s

I just love these shows, helps to remind us that there are still good human beings in the world!

Amazing video God Bless you Maurice

Trust, honesty and integrity. Hard to find these days in the USA. What a shame?

The world needs more people like Mr. Jackson. May you continue to pump for many years in the future, no matter what the nay-sayers may say.

Amazing,,,, This is what would make America great again.

God Bless Maurice...Its people and "real" people like this that definitely keep this "crazy people world" in perspective and give "Hope" with that feeling there is still hope ( keep up the great work and honest hospitality) ty 100-100

I wish I had one of these locally. What a nice fellow !!

What a great guy! Everything he said is 100% true. People have lost touch with what really counts .....CARING.

I miss working in those service stations. I worked through high school in those and cattle auctions in west Texas.

Damn Maurice is lucky he has Danny Trejo working for him

Incredible story! Thank you for bringing it to us!

Thanks brings back good times just love it.

when I was a kid I went once but my brother used to go every summer down to O'Donnell Texas and work on the fields. O'Donnell Texas is a small farming community.

The two thumbs down need to settle up their monthly tab.

This is so cool. These full service gas stations ended when I was a kid.

Hard work is all it is and service to his customers and others is how we are meant to be it's what fuels our humanity I believe.

I hope this goes on for the next 100 years. We need to keep certain things like this around. God bless this man

That just warms my heart ;)

wonder if he is still around in 2020

“I dunno, I got started and I can’t stop.” 😊 bless his heart.

This brought a smile to my face, I could not help it.

God bless this man.The world is crazy today.Nobody talks to me either and I am so alone.

This guy is awesome good to see something Americana waiting on people at a gas station giving them full service love this video Maurice the man in the video the owner of the station is awesome thanks for posting this

I grew up doing exactly what they do there..check the oil check your tires changed the oil change tires pump gas I did all that many many many years.... I definitely miss it

God Bless that man! 👍

Iv been to O'Donnell over 100 + Times and I've never known about this station. WHAT! LOL awesome

Awesome video. I worked at a full service station as a teenager. I miss it. Was fun back then. Now everyone is in a big hurry to go nowhere. But I think full service will return one day. Just as all the good things usually do.

This is what people mean when we say Make America Great Again

Pretty cool to google earth it. Looking up and down Doak Street I saw a nice old building with the Blocker name on it. Go Hoss Cartwright.

And a lot of people plain refuse to work. I hope this video inspires them

great man. wish things were still like this.

I live in Texas but not near here. I love this and wish there was gas stations like this near me

Last time I had full service at the pump I was filling up for .48 a gallon. How cool is this !

I miss these times. When I grew up I always looked forward to the man in our town that knew your family etc and he was like family Looked out for your car. Let me know if you needed some oil, and I remember those days going to High school not having enough gas to get there and he told me let’s go ahead and put gas in your car just tell your mom and dad to stop by here within the next day and will take care of things. Places like that were the best and we always made sure that we frequented those establishments

He even has the older pumps with the lever. Lol Funny story. I was filling uo with a friend and she got out if the car and kept telling me that JUST HER LUCK THE PUMP WOULD BREAK. So i grt out if the car and look over and immediately told her PUT THE PUMP BACK ON TAKE IT OFF AND FLIP THE LEVER 😂. She looked at me like i had 5 heads 😂. That style pump was the last of my generation on those pumps lol. Mind you this pump is located at a 7-11 store and OLDER STORE that was bought out and changed to a 7-11. I mean why change the pumps if they still work

Beautiful story

GREAT JOB.. YOU ARE THE BEST. THANK YOU, SIR..

What a great job you have to meet some of the nicest people across the United States.

Gone are the good old days.So sad that we do not see this anymore.

Great story!

I'm ready! Anybody else ready to move to Maurice's O'Donnell with me? 🤠🐴💓

I lost buster, a pure blood golden retriever, he was amazing, he learned sign language Basic commands. He hugged a alley cat in his chest in winter time to keep him warm.

Now talk about good service you don't see that hardly anywhere anymore Mr Jackson is a real credit to his community. God Bless him and his wife. And O'Donnell,Tx.

Everytime one of these old timers pass away, we lose a national treasure.

People like him keep the world spinning.

Great Channel.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love Sananton was stationed in lackland A.F.B from 1978 to 1982 proud to be Texan.

I wish I could like this a Jillion,000,000,000,000 times

We have one full service gas station in Tennessee. It is in Maynardville. Passed by many times.

There is one were i live and im a LOYALIST the family that owns it has been in our town MANY MANY YEARS and will continue to get my business. #HEYBUDDY

Hey Ron, just for kicks I'm testing my memory some more. I can remember that Odonnell was booming in Nov & Dec of '39 and we went into town to a grocery store. One of my elders told me that that was Hoss' parents grocery. Wonder if that was correct? ...dw

We have a full service gas station here in my little town of Albany Tx. It's too bad their's not many people who get to experience something like this.

Your memory is workin just fine!

awesome!

very cool....we need more of this.

lovely!

WoW I almost cried 😢.

What a great man

i hope its just his amazing service thats keeping the customers coming older gents like that would give you there last meal to not see you go hungry i just hope hes charging enough so he and employees can make a reasonable living and hes not swalloing subk costs just to help the town out

I want to know who are the 17 people that chose to "thumbs down" this video, And why they did. Really why would you?????

Glad I grew up in this generation 🇺🇸❤️👍🇺🇸❤️👍🇺🇸❤️👍🇺🇸❤️👍🇺🇸❤️👍🇺🇸❤️👍

yes, if TRUST is around...everybody happy!...

This man is living in the 50s That’s cool

Bob Phillips,the "customer" here,has been doing this same show for almost 50 years.Charles Kuralt had nothing on him.

This is America....so sad it changed🥺🇺🇸💙❤️💙🙏🏻🇺🇸

There were still full service gas stations in California in the early 80's. I know because I worked at one

What a nice man 🤍

We actually still have a full service gas station here in the town I live in.

Awesome

We farm in Odonnell Ive been at that gas station a million times

We could use this, bring this back again...

I noticed your tolltag transponder. Soon you can use it in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina

I work at a gas station and the reason behind no full service is because my station has twenty four gas pumps is 24hrs there are sometimes where you have to wait for a pump if we had full service we would be screwed

Makes me want to drive from Northeast California to Texas just to get a tank of gas

SWEET GOD LOVE THEM

That’s something I really want to tip 18% for, not those fancy stupid cafes in midtown Manhattan who ask you 18% for just packing a stupid croissant.

trust is the only currency & folks like this makes America great again!

very cool

It's on US 87 BUS and TX 76 loop
