Working in a grocery store called Falley's in Topeka for $1.65 per hour in 1966. After 3 years, I switched to an A&P grocery store. Their employees were union, so my salary went up to about $3.25. Plus we got time and a half for working on Sundays. That was decent money back then.
Walking beans @ $1.25 an hour, my friend's sister would sometimes walk with us. That alone was worth it, made the time go by faster, always a kink in my neck by the end of
day although. lol
