Hmm...last time I was there I don't remember anyone cleaning my
windshield.  I do remember often having to wait...and wait...and
wait...for the attendant, who would eventually wander over, shove the
nozzle in without much enthusiasm, set it on the slowest notch, and then
wander off again until it was time to take my money.  I found that, with
out of state plates, the best way to get quick service was to act like I
was about to try to pump the gas myself.
