The scene at the gas pumps at the Giant supermarket in New Garden on the afternoon of Saturday, Oct. 8, reminded me of the gas lines in the 1970s. For a while back then, because of the fuel shortage, you could buy gas only on certain days, based on whether you had an odd or even last digit on your license plate (this was before the days of vanity plates). Oct. 8 was the last day in Giant's promotion period that you could use your discount points from the supermarket at the pumps, and everybody, including me, was taking advantage of it.
The next Giant bonus-point promotion is, believe it or not, a free Thanksgiving turkey.
