I don't remember 6. There was usually one; he checked the oil, cleaned the windshield, checked tire pressure, if you asked for it and gassed up the car. Not sure what this kid is watching but I presume that is Dad, the driver, at the pump

Just an assumption on my part, the kid is watching a driver being assaulted by a group of gang members.

Sounds plausible - it was the.."in uniform" that made me wonder.

Times have changed and not necessarily for the better IMO.

I think what the kid is referring to is all the drivers around the multiple gas pumps on each island now, all filling their own cars and paying at the pump.
