The last time I worked at a gas station was in 1976.it was a part time job after work and week-ends.
I was also going to college too!
It was called a "Lion" gas station.Had to stick the tanks before and after every shift (and use the paste water detector) .Had an in-floor safe with a slot in the top.Anything over a hundred dollars had to be folded and pushed thru the slot with a paint stick!2 bays with wash rack and lube/mechanic bay.
It also was on Hwy.90.At the time 90 was the southern most east/west route across the U.S.The new I-10 wasn't complete yet.
Soo many stories of the strange and weird people I've encountered.
I think the worst was the last time the KKK had a rally in daytime!
Mike.
