Italian Gas Stations are somewhat unique in their own right. Highway gas stations in Europe are more full service as far a food goes. In the US its more snacks or breakfast. The QTs near me have a menu you can order from but it looks it looks very unhealthy.

Train stations are on another level. Parma and buffalo mozzarella on a fresh baguette? No problem.

And free no-questions-asked bathrooms!

The gas prices are often marked up, at least in France.

I remember in Croatia a highway gas station having a full bar, with a sign saying that they won't serve alcohol between 3AM and 6AM.
