CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I remember when gas was $0.75 cents a gallon, and we pulled into a gas station with my Mom driving, she saw the gas price at $1.00 a gallon on a long weekend, and she FLIPPED on the attendant! I had never heard her yell before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rays B4U Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Ahh, the ole "Remember When Thread". Here's mine: 1. I remember when $5 would give me over 3/4 tank of gas! (and I needed it with an 8 mpg built 67 Camaro!) 2. I remember when I had to go to Canada to get gas on Sundays! 3. Not a gas Remember When, but deserves a mention: I remember when the dimmer switch was on the floor. (where it belongs!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawss04 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hey I remember the last gas crunch, my dad had two Union76 stations. Cars were lined up down the street. He was a nice guy and sent all his regular customers coupons in the mail so they did not have to wait for gas, talk about customer service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peerson Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 I remember when.... I worked for Clark Oil Co. in high school. They ONLY sold Premium Gas. They were called "The Premium People". Gas in 1974: 59.9 Sometimes, we would have "Gas Wars". Price would go down to 19.9 for short periods. We actually waited on customers (AT THEIR CARS!). We were supposed to RUN to the customer's car and greet them with a "Friendly Smile". We had to clean everyone's windows (ALL windows. Not just the windshield) and their headlights/tailights. Had to check everyone's oil/transmission fluid. And then, show the dipstick to the driver. We also wore these really cool jumpsuits with a light blue shirt and a necktie. And the clothes had to be clean and pressed. In between cars, we were either painting curbs "snow-white", or cleaning the pumps or the station 's windows, or the bathrooms (bathrooms had to be clean enough to eat in. All of the time.). The place absolutely -sparkled-. Got paid $ 2.65/hr. Worked over 60hrs/week. Cost to fill up my car: $ 5.00 Cigarettes were .50/pk, $ 5.00/carton Ahhhh..... the "Good-Old-Days" T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
