@benaar @tjw wow, I remember when they had the same problem when it hit $1 for the first time.

@atomicbird @benaar @tjw I still remember gas stations who just painted a 1 in front of their price displays on the pumps. Late 90’s took care of the last of that.

@ii_infinitum @benaar @tjw I remember them setting the pumps to half of the price per gallon and then doubling that when people paid. (There were of course no automated payment systems then, always had to pay a person)
