영자는 어느 날 사위의 차를 빌려 근처에 볼일을 보러 갔다가, 기름이 거의 바닥난 것을 발견했어요.
"이런! 주유소를 가야겠네." 영자는 근처 주유소에 차를 댔습니다. 한국에서 영자는 주유소 직원이 다 해주는 풀 서비스에 익숙했는데, 여긴 미국, 셀프 주유였죠!
차에서 내려 펌프 앞에 섰어요. 기계 화면에 영어가 가득했습니다.
영자는 카드를 기계에 넣어봤어요. 그러자 또 메시지가 떴습니다.
'집 코드? ZIP code? 아, 우편번호구나!' 영자는 딸의 집 주소 우편번호를 기억해 눌러봤어요. 하지만 "Invalid ZIP code" 가 떴어요.
'어? 왜 안 되지? 아... 이 카드 등록된 주소랑 다른가 보다!' 영자는 한숨을 쉬었어요.
그때 옆 차 아저씨가 친절하게 알려줬어요.
영자는 "Oh, thank you!" 하고 편의점 안으로 들어갔어요. 계산대 앞에 서자 점원이 물었습니다.
영자는 잠깐 고민했어요. '내 차가 몇 번이었지? 아, 3번 펌프에 있어!' 영자는 자신 있게 또박또박 말했어요.
점원이 고개를 끄덕이며 물었어요. "How much?" 영자는 "Twenty dollars, please!" 하고 답했어요.
"Twenty on pump three, got it!" 점원이 기계를 조작해주었고, 영자는 돈을 내고 다시 차로 돌아왔어요.
펌프 손잡이를 들고 기름을 넣는 영자. 드디어 내가 셀프 주유까지 할 수 있게 됐어!
20달러어치 기름이 다 들어가자 기계가 "Thank you!" 라고 메시지를 보여줬어요. 영자는 미소를 지으며 펌프 손잡이를 제자리에 놓았어요.
집에 돌아가는 길, 영자는 속으로 생각했어요. "와... 은행 계좌도 만들었고, 주유소도 혼자 다녀왔어! 미국 생활 진짜 적응됐네!" ⛽
Young-ja needs to get gas.
She goes to a gas station alone.
She tries to pay with her card at the pump.

"Which pump?" the worker asks.
"Pump number three!" Young-ja says.
She pays and fills up her car.
Young-ja is very proud.

Young-ja borrows her son-in-law's car one day to run some errands.
On the way back, she notices the fuel gauge is almost empty.
"Oh no, I need gas," she thinks.
She pulls into a nearby gas station — but this is America, which means self-service, not the full-service stations she's used to in Korea.
She steps out of the car and faces the pump screen, full of English instructions.
"Insert card or pay inside," the screen reads.
She inserts her card. Then another message: "Enter your ZIP code."
"ZIP code? Oh, postal code!" She tries her daughter's address — but the screen says "Invalid ZIP code."
"Ah, the card is registered to a different address." She sighs.
Just then, a friendly man at the next pump says, "You can pay inside. Just tell them the pump number!"
"Oh, thank you!" Young-ja walks into the little store at the gas station.
The clerk at the counter greets her. "Hi! Which pump?"
"Pump number three!" she answers clearly and confidently. "Twenty dollars, please!"
"Twenty on pump three, got it!" the clerk says. Young-ja pays, returns to the pump, fills up the tank, and drives home feeling like a real American driver.
