Remember that when you got out of the car, the people who worked there started yelling, "Can I help you?" before you shut your door.

It's weird how they had all kinds of jobs in the old days that don't exist anymore. Gas stations had several people there to pump your gas and check your oil and tires ---and the gas was cheap. Even elevators had people on them hired to ask you what floor and get you there, and store bathrooms had attendants. Hardware stores had people to wait on you, all stores did. I don't know what people do for jobs anymore.

And besides all the service at the gas stations, we also got green stamps or dishes.
