When I worked at a supermarket chain in the late 1970s, they were moving away from those price stampers to label guns that shot out stickers. It was considered high tech at the time and if the price changed, you just put the new one on top of the old.

It was a big responsibility to price product in those days. You had to be a full-timer out of high school to even qualify to have one of those pricing guns and they had to be checked out and checked back in every shift. If you were issued one and let it out of your sight for even a minute, you were fired. Anybody else who even touched one was immediately fired.

Still a few years away from bar codes - that changed everything.

I had a summer job at a grocery store in the late 60's. I guess the manager trusted me because I was one of the few who got to put out cigarettes and beer (they were kept in a locked cage).

LOL! It just occurs to me that I was not old enough to drink legally. Not sure about smoking.

I also recall I had a "tax stamp" (rubber stamp) to put on the bottom of cigarette packs that I took out of cartons and put in the cigarette machine. Wonder if that was legal!
