And I'm So Old
I Recall Chewing Gum Selling For 5 Cents Per Pack.
And My Cigarettes Were 10 Cents Per Pack.

SFC Terry Wilcox - In the 60's my father would give me $2 and go fill up his old Chevy truck at the Airforce base. Regular gas was $0.16 a gallon, and the $2 was enough to fill up the truck.
In the 70's most when going to the gas station, they would only put $2 to do what ever they needed to do.
Those old days, the service person would clean your windshield, put gas, and check your oil.
When I got out of school, my first job was at a gas station, I was the tire repair guy, and service guy, and closed up at nights.

We Must Be Somewhere Around The Same Age. I'll Be 78 on 06/29/2022,
But When I Lived In Phoenix, AZ And Was Working In a Fuel Station, During a Gasoline War, In 1961, We Sold Gas @ 9.9 Cents Per Gallon.
Out Here In Vegas, We Just Hit $5.50+ Per Gallon.
VISA Platinum Is Required If We Hope To Fill The Tank.
When I Was Stationed At OSAN AFB, S, Korea, I Think We Paid About $2.00 For Cigarettes Also; And Hookers Were 250 Won....In 1965,

Our governor is trying to bribe us into voting for her again because I got a $500 gas reimbursement check and deposited today. I still didn't vote for her.

SFC Terry Wilcox yup, I'm a registered Dem and I didn't color in her circle. Thus, not voting for her, I will wait for the general to vote for any Republican in November.

MAJ Bob Miyagishima - Not really registered to any particular PARTY - I seem to vote for the lesser of all evils - which ever does the least damage to America.

We laugh but you see game ads where the person at a store or restaurant doesn't have enough money then plays a game where they can win money that goes to their PayPal account. Then they pay the bill. Hahaha!
