The Supertest gas station i worked at as a kid, had a vending machine, but we soon found out it was broken. If you put your money in the sliders and pushed it in 75% of the way, then pulled it back, the smokes would come out. Guy fixed that after a month or so. When a pack of Cameo tobacco went from $0.45 to $0.50, I said thats to rich for my blood, and was 1 of 2 deciding quit factors. The other was my Dad un able to get on of my rollies down, and he smoked 4 large Export A packs a day. Probably the strongest one out there at th etime.
