[QUOTE="Rob L., post: 2778584, member: 120811"] This was a full service gas station that had stalls to work on cars and other service. The gas wars were to match the competition's gas prices. Later, in the 1960's I worked in a full service Union 76 station for $1.25 an hour. We did everything for the customers starting with window cleaning, check oil and water (which was always fun). If they wanted the tire pressure checked we did that too. Some of the cute girls that came in we'd ask if they wanted their lug nuts rotated or change the chrome muffler bearings! 🤣 Our station would even wash and vacuum the car if they wanted. Often we'd go to a good customer's house, two of us, to bring their car down for service work and deliver it back when done, all serviced and filled up. The owner ran tabs for his customers and they'd come down to pay them up each month. This station was a leader in tire sales too. Life was different back then... [/QUOTE]
