16 years old working weekends bagging groceries at a military commissary on an Army base in the 70's. The lines were long and never ending. Speed was everything. You bagged fast or you were replaced. For hours and hours. At the end of the day walk out with pockets bulging with quarters. Tips.

The base also had a game arcade. A lot of those hard-earned quarters went into the pinball machines. And cheeseburgers and pizza. And the pinball machines. This was before the Space Invaders game came out.
