Also, that they were returnable, but you generally sat at the gas station to finish the pop shooting the breeze with the employees. Things weren't as rushed then. If leaving in a hurry, you made apologies telling them why. If no apologies made, you were considered rude becoming the topic for the next couple of hours.

If you were a kid, you collected those bottles people left with, for repair of a bike tire which cost anywhere 50 cents to a dollar. If anyone charged a kid more than that, it was called "highway robbery."[/QUOTE]

Hope you don't mind but I'm going to borrow "highway robbery" for the Cat Got Your Tongue thread!
