Are there any services, companies, teams etc .. that no longer exist that you miss?
For me...
Western Airlines. My first airline I flew on as a kid, flew them quite a bit. Thats back when they asked you if you wanted seating in smoking or non smoking.
The Los Angeles Rams, I was a huge LA Rams fan, they no longer exist.
I also miss full service at the Gas Station, where they would come to your window, pump the gas for you, check your oil etc, You never had to get out your car.

Quite frankly I rather be the one pumping my own gas and checking my own oil, some had a habit of not putting things back correctly lol _________________________________________________________

That still happens in Oregon. It's illegal to pump your own gas here. An employee pumps your gas, and sometimes if you are lucky they will ask you if you want your oil checked or windows washed.
The problem with the full service is when you go up to Washington (or any other state really) you end up sitting there for 10 minutes wondering where the people are. Then you realize that you aren't in Oregon and that you have to pump your own gas
I miss a local card shop that we used to have around here. When I was in 7th grade (2005-2006) I used to walk down there all the time and participate in their Halo 2 tournaments that they held once a month. I didn't even own an Xbox at the time because my mom wouldn't let me play Halo at home, but I still loved it. _________________________________________________________

They really pump it for you, and.. you can not do it yourself, Wow, had no Idea, here in California its illegal to have an employee pump gas at any station because of the health and safety stuff, not wanting someone exposed to the fumes all day every day.
Also here in California, you have to pay then get the gas, It always feels odd when I go out of state and you pump first then pay. Like they trust you not to pump and run.
Yup. They pump it for you and if you get out to do it yourself they will ask you to get back into your car. _________________________________________________________

I miss the Sega Genesis and Dreamcast days but we can still have that now if we want. What I really miss is that time frame in my life. I use to ride ATV's, dirt bikes, go biking and camp out all the time just having fun with friends. So I miss the good old days. Now I'm just an old fart.
Here in NH it depends on the gas station. Some have full service and self service at the same gas station. Some are only full service or just self service but they don't change your oil or anything except maybe offer to wipe your windows. NH is not known for piles of rules. It's known for no taxes and doing what the hell you want. In the end, most people are pretty cool here.
