I'll confess that I could not have imagined that one could offer surveying services as a drive-though product. I'm uncertain who is responsible for this operation since the office was apparently closed for lunch when I saw it today, but though a window one could make out the outlines of all the standard equipment one might think would be required for a drive-though surveying office. Several 300 ft. fiberglass tapes hung on the wall and some unopened boxes of P-K nails lurked beneath a desk.

Apparently, the old gas pump is a gimmick to lure clients ("I'm sorry, we're out of gasoline at the moment, but we are having a special on survey maps today."), Right next to it is an ATM machine for the convenience of clients who forgot to bring cash.

Well, I'd hazard a guess if you said it was in Oklahoma...

Nah, if it were Oklahoma we would have already stolen the pump.

If it were in OK, why would you steal your own pump?

Don't they have drive through liquor stores in Tejas as well? So not that much a stretch. In Canada I was a bit surprised to see Government liquor stores where you could get your marriage license at the same time. How convenient.
