I know I'm dating myself....you whipper-snappers probably can't imagine days like that. <VBG> AND.... they gave you Green Stamps. My ex father- in- law traded free prescriptions at the pharmacy for green stamps at the gas station. Our house was furnished by "green stamps." You actually could select marvelous gifts for just buying gas!!! Now you fill your own tank, wash your own windows, check the oil when you have an oil change and wait until the tires go flat to discover something is wrong. I also remember meals IN COACH on the airlines. What is wrong with this picture? Pay more and expect less.... thank G-d our dogs never change....They always give more....
