If a tire was low they added air which, at that time, was free

LOL. I remember a woman who would come in on occasion, whose husband told her the air in her tires needed to changed. We played along with it. Figured he just needed a break from her. Also don't forget we would always wash the windows.

That is toooo funny. The fact that she obviously believed her husband made it all the more humorous. You all were so polite to go along with her comment. Poor husband. Sounds like something Obama would say when he was preaching to people complaining about the cost of gasoline by telling them to check the air in their tires.

And yes, I do remember having my windows washed. That was back in the day when we actually had service - and with a smile yet!

When I was small my parents bought their gas at the local Phillips. Mrs. Johnson, the owner’s wife, always had homemade strawberry ice cream every Wednesday, four dips in one double cone for ONE DIME! It was my treat every Wednesday night on the way home from prayer meeting.
