I don’t even remember but it was good. It was like vanilla with crunchy stuff in it, and the cone was good. I was very pleased. It was 3.50 for a huge cone. The kids were kinda jerkoffs but I still gave them a $1 tip.

Lo… I am waiting for the kids to wake up so we can go get some breakfast :o)

shower / teeth / I will go shopping today and buy some stuff. My brother in law wants a watch my sister hinted it is called G shock so before I leave I need to get him this as a gift too since I am staying here. Not sure who to help. Tomorrow I will pay for my dad’s eye surgery. Hope it is cheap =(

Ha, when I was a kid in the seventies, the drugstore across town had an ice cream cone counter. The scoops weren’t huge but you could buy one scoop for a nickel, two scoops for a dime or three scoops for 15 cents. Banana or chocolate chip mint were my favorites.
My dad used to take us with him when he went there to buy something like shoes or artificial logs for the fireplace or a magazine or something and we always got an ice cream cone.

I used to get the two for .10 cent cones, chocolate, and rainbow sherbet.

argggg I can’t for the life of me think of the name of the drugstore.

Is that advisable… Walking to get ice cream. You could hurt yourself.

When I worked at Baskin Robbins ice cream in 1974 I made $1.25 an hour. Minimum wage was $2.25 an hour, but we were willing to work for less. One guy who worked there worked eighty hours a week all summer long so he could buy a car. He got an MG.

One time I walked ten miles just for a six pack of beer - five miles there, and five miles back. The trip back was in almost total dark. I was on a country road with no street lights. There was no shoulder, either. I was scared that when a car passed by it might not see me, and it might hit me. Somehow I don’t miss my drinking days.

You’re a little older than me. My first job was washing dishes in a restaurant I made $2.65 an hour.
I was 17 but I Iied on my job application and I said I was 18 in order to work the night shift.
That was in 1978 and the law around here said that a minor under age 18 couldn’t work past 9:00 pm and the restaurant closed at 10:00 pm.

I walked a mile for a Camel once.

I thought that was gonna be the case but it was raining so all the crazy people were indoors (funny how that works)

Yeah, that was the store. Didn’t know that it turned into the “Payless Drugstore.” Didn’t “CVS Drug” just buy out the Payless stores?

I went into that Payless drug here in town to buy some bedadine (first aid stuff), and the lady said the (usually $11.) bottle was $24. and I’d need to show my Drivers license too.
What’ya high lady?
She insisted, I walked out.
