Service With a Smile

September 13, 1966, Twin City News-Record

We visited Coonen's last week, too but in all my years of interacting with service station workers, I never saw one wearing that cap the company thought they should all wear.  Nor was he wearing a necktie under his jumpsuit either.  If anything, he was greasy in all the right places, which if nothing else, gave the impression that he was indeed a worker bee instead of a pristine corporate shill.  It's sort of like having your baseball uniform covered in mud from a head first slide.  Respect.
