Yea, a lot of memories back then.
My dad was originally open 7 days a week, 7-11pm. He gradually cut it back over the years. Since Phillips had a regional office around the corner, and the nearby infamous Pier 66 resort, they were always complaining about his constantly reducing hours.

He offered, when you guys work till 8:00pm, he won't stay open till then. I guess I share a bit of his thinking.
On the pumps, they were the full flow, non cut-off style, no time was ever wasted filling your tank at the full service islands, spilling a little gas at $.21/gal was no big deal. eek

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
