old school pump

How old you think this is?



Went in to pay not even thinkin that there would be no computer to show the cashier the price.

Arab guy was like "how much! how much!"

Ummm, shouldn't you tell me?

Had to walk back out and take a look.

Thats how the pumps are at our co-op we get our and disel from. I have only used a newer pump maybe once or twice and I had to get a friend to show me how to use it . I'm used to pulling up and the guy comes out and fills it up for me or I get out, pull the lever down so it goes back to $0 and pull the handle. You guys will probably find this amusing but it is true.

I worked at a full-service Texaco gas station after I graduated from high school in 95' that had that style of pump.

We've got those all over the place down here. Especially out in some podunk towns. But we are slowly catching up.

I remember those well. Once when visiting my mom I filled up with one and thank God I had looked at the pump before walking in the store. He asked 'How much?' and I was almost dumbfounded.
