There was pretty much always a lineup for gas.
Of course, casual observation didn’t reveal whether this was a strategy, or whether the owner of the station happened to have several attractive daughters.
larry July 24, 2007 at 2:13 pm: I used to see hot dog vending carts run by women
in bikinis. I’m surprised that more of this sort of thing
doesn’t occur. It’s not really that different from
how pharmaceutical companies hire good-looking women, and men,
to go to doctors’ offices to promote their products.
Of course, since those people are professionally dressed,
it’s socially acceptable.
