Office workers are off so service industry jobs are fully staffed. I've never seen a gas station closed for labor day.
let alone Christmas, gas stations only close in the event of large scale riots in my experience. I've been forced to work overnight in a blizzard that dropped three feet of snow. I had one customer all night, he was a plow driver coming in for a few energy drinks.
And you are a hero to that plow driver. And others like you are heroes to the people that also had to be out on terrible weather days and holidays.
I assume a gas station could run without anyone present, leaving the convenience store part closed, but having someone on-hand to hit an e-stop if needed is pretty important.
My goal is not to devalue your work, but rather to support it. "Essential workers" are called that for a reason. We should work to ensure that they are paid their worth. Just because it's not necessarily a "skilled" job doesn't mean it's not important. The bro running the local hedge fund is providing way less actual value than anyone in a service job.
