[QUOTE="eric, post: 22750, member: 7"] The blue law....was that a national thing or just in Texas? I can remember going in the little grocery store and finding complete ailes roped off because you could'nt buy certain things on Sunday. Man, how times have changed, nowadays if the store isn't open 24/7 we don't know what to do! One of my first jobs was at a Cabell's Dairy grocer, (I was like 12/13 yrs old), my job was cleaning up and racking the coke / milk bottles and such, and the old man would only open from 7am to 7 pm Monday -Saturday. As soon as he retired and sold out, 7-11 bought the store and they immediately opened 24 hrs 7 days a week. Anyone else remember riding their bikes for miles collecting coke bottles? We used to get 3 cents for the little ones and 5 cents for the family size pop bottles! Not much $, but baseball cards only cost 5 cents back then too! I remember having to drink the cokes at the store because we didnt want to pay the deposit on the bottle! LOL [/QUOTE]
