My husband Tom who is 12 years older than me use to pack groceries there. My mom didn't have a car so we usually had my aunt or someone bring our groceries home. I remember stealing my first training bra there; it was bright blue. I think I was embarrased to ask my mom to buy me one so I stole it! I had a halter top on at the time but I also had a sweater with me! My friends and I use to go into the Tiddly Winks games and take out the tokens to use them in the gumball machines but we finally got busted by the private detective. He had brown hair and a mustache. That ordeal really scared me! After that we couldn't be in there without our moms for a certain amount of time. Thanks for the memories!

I too remember playing in the toy department while my mom & dad shopped. I remember my mom with a stack of coupons, you could give them any coupon whether you bought that item or not. I do not remember the monkeys but did spend some time in the pet store. I bought an Eric Clapton album there (with the song cocaine on it) Had to slip that out without dad seeing!!! Does anyone remember when a car that crashed through the doors? I can not remember if it was the front or back doors. This sight is awesome!!!! This sight really made me laugh.

I remember gas at 25 cents a gallon. It was fun to look at the gym set hanging from the ceiling while mom & dad checked out (and wishing I could get that new gym set).
