Had you have been there 60 years ago, a pump attendant would have served you. If he wasn't busy he'd offer to check your oil ( and coolant ) to try to flog you more product. If your oil wasn't up to the mark he'd volunteer to open a one-pint can and top it up. Not wishing to be thought a thief , he'd offer any excess oil for you to carry away an opened can with no lid. If you told him to keep it, it would go to the workshop.

PS Guess what job I did as a teenager
