I too remember the S&H Green stamps. Where I grew up they were more popular than the Eagle stamps. I hated licking all those freakin stamps every month but loved taking the books down to the local redemption store every month and being able to "buy" some worthless piece of crap we really didn't need but just had to have it. Life was so much simpler then.

As for the full service stations - did you know that it is law in Oregon that you can NOT pump your own gas? I guess it's a way to make sure there are jobs out there for everyone. Funny thing is - they don't tell you about it until after you start pumping your own gas and then the attendant comes out and yells at you. Forget the fact that the clown took his/her sweet time getting off their butt to begin with!
