What $3.00+ per gallon gas buys you...

Those kinda' pics are almost too much Rick....you gotta' take it easy on us fellas who are already pining for the old days. .
As a kid my chum's Dad owned the local Sunoco and before we were old enough to pump gas we used to feel lucky when we got to clean the washrooms or load the racks and stack the oil cans up in the front windows...just like in your pic. .
The Supertest was next door and we'd hang out and 'help' there a lot too. .
Our pay for the day seemed unbelievable at the time....stickers, Cokes and sometimes old signs. . I remember some of the best snow toboggans we ever had were those old Coke 'button' signs....a few of us could fit on the big ones but were heavy to pull up the hill so we preferred the little ones....man they'd fly especially if you got one that wasn't too rusty and had a lot of the porcelain finish still on them! .
Try and get kids today to work and have fun like that and they'd probably tell you to....well you know what? .
In later years I worked at the Texaco, the Shell then the Gulf....man I can still almost smell that old grease smell on a hot summer day? .
Bing-bing....fill up the Caddy Leon and I'll get the Oldsie!
