Default Re: Vintage Sunoco Uniforms Hat/Shirts/Coats

Nice gear,

I worked at a Sunoco in Arthur Ontario from age 13 (approx 1985)till I left home for Trade school, the outfits looked very similar and brought back a lot of memories. I still have a Sunoco toque (Toboggan, winter hat, depending on your dialect) that my kids won't let me be seen in public wearing. I froze my butt off all winter as we had to actually go out and put gas in peoples cars instead of sit on out butts and wait for the customer to fill their own cars.

I heard the fantastic sound of the "rubber hose air ding dong bell thingy" (gas station bell) at a self serve today but it was an electronically generated sound played for the attendant when a car would pass a photo cell entering the lot.... It rang a bell in my sentimental gas jockey soul.
