LOL, I recall driving into the Shamrock station, asking for 10
gallons of regular gas, handing the attendant $2, and getting a

And the minimum wage was either $0.50/HR, $0.75/HR, or $1.00/HR,
depending on the year.

I worked for all of them.

With the competition from across the street on most corners with
stations, I could pretty well fill up my '49 Willy Jeepster for four or
five bucks, get a few extra drops out of the nozzle for my Zippo, and
