To get your nickels …
To get your nickels back for soda bottles, you would literally take them back to the checkout and wait. Another difference is that in less urban areas the checkers would always strike up a conversation if it wasn’t busy. Miss those times.

Wow…look who I …
Wow…look who I just found on YouTube! How goes it? Yes…the poor er nearly roasted in that Chevy. And how about that butcher guy using the ban-saw with no glasses, gloves, or blade guard. Gotta love the 50’s! I’ll take that cart load of groceries for $5.63 though anyday.

If Chipper was left …
If Chipper was left in a hot car here in AZ, the police would have been waiting to arrest them after they bought their supplies of Malt ‘O Meal and Frosted Flakes.

Are my eyes deceiving me, or was that a large JAR of Ken-L Ration DOG FOOD in their cart at checkout?!!!

You have a good eye …
You have a good eye. I did notice, however, that when the butcher handed the parcel of veal to “Mrs. Nelson” that the paper came away clean. If he hadn’t washed his hands in between takes, the paper would have been smeared with (most likely) blood stains. But I must agree; a most unsanitary practice.

The weather didn’t look sweltering–it might have very well been 65 or 70 degrees, so that er spaniel left in the car would have been fine. The warnings only come about with extreme heat.
