Re: Do you remember when you could ___?

I grew up in the 80's and remember gas at under a dollar a gallon. I worked at a full service station and had to wash windshields and check tire pressure and oil. Nothing would tick me off more than it being 10 below and an old lady say "can you check the air in my right front tire" then I'd say "it's fine" then she'd say "well can you check the air in my left rear tire" and I'd say "it's fine too" and so on and so on until I'd check the air in all 4 tires. Then she'd say "Can you check my oil". I'd prefer to just have gotten all up front "check my tires and oil sonny" ya know? Oh, and the big trucks. Had to wash their windshield too. Worked at the same station for 3 1/2 years in high school making $3.35 an hour and never got a raise cuz I was "part time". At least I had a job while of my friends were goofing off enjoying their childhoods.
