Well considering Andy and Barney each left a quarter tip (not knowing the other
did the same) for their lunch at the diner once which would make two meals
worth about $1.00 each at 10 - 15% for a tip.
But what is more telling is, and if my bucket is situated correctly, it was
mentioned that Wally's Service Station pumps an average of about 80 gallons in
a month, or was it a week? (Please correct me if that is wrong). Even at 15
cents a gallon (average for that circa of time) that isn't much for a one
horse, ahem, gas station town.
