Amazon did not "invent" home delivery

18. For a short while I worked in a drug store and delivered prescriptions.

Got to drive the owners big Oldsmobile. This was in addition to working the cash register and sweeping up of course. A couple of my friends delivered groceries for a couple Mom & Pop grocery stores. Most of the items were behind the counter and you told the clerk what you wanted or gave them a list from your Mom. Ya got to pick out some cookies from a big bin. We had the bread man (man those hard rolls) , the milk man (cream on top), the egg man. We got to watch when the Fuller brush man stopped by to show his case of goodies. Dibs on the Sears Christmas Catalog when it came. Three butcher shops within two blocks from our house. Loved to watch him wrap meat up in that brown paper and pull the string down from above and tie it up. Three shoe repair shops where we got old heels for hopscotch. The five and dime where 5 cents got you a red rubber ball to play all Saturday and the YoYo Clown came by once a year to do tricks. This all ended before to 70's.
