What is the most common greeting phrase, used by service attendants, when a customer pulls into a gas station for fuel?
At least here in Kansai I usually hear them say something like:

> はーい、オーライオーライオーライ... はいっ、オッケーでーす！  
>  いらっしゃい（ませ）、現金レギュラー満タンで！？

or

> こちらへどうぞー、オーライオーライオーライ... はいっ、オッケーでーす！  
>  いらっしゃい（ませ）、カード・現金？レギュラー満タンで！？

* * *

Phrases and meanings:

  * はーい -- It's like "Here" or "This way". Drawing the customer's attention and guiding them to the right direction. 
  * こちらへどうぞ -- "(Move your car) this way, please." 
  * オーライオーライオーライ... -- "Alright, alright..." Telling them to move the car forward. 
  * はいっ -- "Now" or "Here", indicating that the car has now come to the right position. 
  * オッケーです -- Literally "It is OK". Telling them to stop the car. 
  * いらっしゃい(ませ) -- "Welcome (to the store)" or "Hello". General greeting for welcoming customers. 
  * 現金レギュラー満タンで --- Common phrase heard at gas stations. "By cash, fill it up with regular?" 
  * カード、現金 -- "(Are you paying) by cash or credit card?"
