My husband worked at a gas station as an after-school job...and gas was 25 cents.

 

[marilynfl]

In 1963...and he pumped the gas for purchasers.

 

[marilynfl]

...and cleaned their windshields.

 

[marilynfl]

...and checked their oilstick.

and took their payment and made change and gave directions.

and wore a spiffy uniform.

...and the customer never left the driver seat.

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

...and he made the customer feel like their business was appreciated.

...And he gave doggie treats for the dogs that were in the car

and checked the air in the tires.

ANd gave away free maps, and joked with the kids in the back seat.

And checked under the engine

 

[dianncy1964]

and checked the tire pressure and oil levels

 

[dianncy1964]

I remember the gas crunch of 1973, 37 cents a gallon with a $3.00 limit per car

 

[dianncy1964]

And I remember in 1979, overnight the price rose from 47 cents to 99 cents people were outraged

 

[dianncy1964]

and odd & even plates, could only fill their cars according to their plate nu's
