But sometimes -- NO cash!
In Response To: In God We Trust... ()

Mr. Cash, the Talking Oil Pump! Cash Oil was a discounter in California, many years back. The stations were bought by Golden Gate Petroleum,
but this site, in Oroville down the street from Feather Falls Casino, was not among them, and was left to rot away. Not sure if the pumps are
still out there (photo taken in 2014). Oh, the talking part - pumps had a speaker connected to the little kiosk, where the attendant could say
things like, "Cash Only, Please!" Freaked me out first time I heard it, never dealt with a "talking oil pump" before.

Bringing it back to Chips - some chips are No Cash at all. Thanks to Richard Siri, whose son was awarded some of these and has the wisdom
NOT to spend them at the blackjack tables. The Talking Oil Pump praises you, "Good thinking, Son!!"
