I also always tip 5-10 for the same reason everyone commented. The attendants perform a real service to me as opposed to some situations where the tipping is just expected. The attendants have always been very appreciative. Last year, I got gas at Y landing which is not one of my usual places, but the attendant refused the tip. He was a bit older and perhaps one of the managers, but it was a nice gesture. I asked him to take it and split it with the younger employees which he did truly reluctantly. It really is a pleasure to do business with most of the people in the area.
