I used to sell airheads 4 for a dollar. Because the 6 pack at my Kroger would cost 1 dollar and I would buy 15-20 of em to last the week. I made like 15$ profit or something a week. And I felt like a baller

Luckily here in north Bama we still got a few mom and pop gas stations that have them. Same goes for the little Lemonhead packs (10¢) now and laters (5¢) and dum dum suckers for (10¢)

Yes I worked at place where they thought an annual raise of a 5 cents a year. I was a welder there . They said because they were so impressed with me they were going to give me 10 cents. I said really? I got some thing for you here is my resignation. And I walked out . The man was yelling at me the whole time . I walked right across the street made a dollar more an hour at the start. He was pissed. I 2as mad because I didn't even know that job was even there, till I looked. I could have been working there the whole time. Oh well.

Mr. Fredo..............When I was 16 years old, minimum wage was $0.75 and hour.

Of course, Coca Colas were a nickle and gas was about $0.16 cents a gallon and it was leaded.

[@CoreyCampbell-km3yn]

I may be showing my age here, but I remember the penny candy store. 😢was the best place my grandma would take me. Everything was either a penny or nickle. I’d save change for the week to get candy. I’m only 30. Man times have changed. It sucks now
