A gas station would not have very many employees. This was a plastic manufacturing plant that had about 75 employees.Denying the foolish habits your bros have is not going to make it go away.
Where were you working? At a gas station

Not in philly
You've come a long way baby
Virginia Slims marketing it is OK for women to smoke. Today, I think more women than men smoke
Virginia Slims created women's tennis. Nobody cared before they sponsored it
So women didn't smoke that much in the 50's and 60's?

Not very ladylike
It was in the 70's. Nobody had no computer skills then. I was a programmer for 8 years after that, part time in the 90's. The blacks opened their cigarettes from the bottom. No amount of your lame attempts at insulting me will change that fact.A gas station would not have very many employees.

We have come a long way
They weren't pissing me off. I just wondered why they did that. I have heard two responses to it. This first one is from the NYT.It was in the 70's. Nobody had no computer skills then.

Further on ''A Cigarette Campaign Under Fire'' (Business Day, Jan. 12), your report on the campaign that the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company planned for Uptown, a mentholated cigarette intended to appeal to black smokers:
You state, ''Market research indicated blacks opened cigarette packs from the bottom, possibly to avoid crushing the filters.'' The observation is correct, but the reason is wrong.
This phenomenon traces back at least to World War II, when cigarettes were a valued commodity among soldiers. Often a soldier temporarily without cigarettes and without funds would ''bum'' a smoke from a fellow soldier. It was impolite to refuse such a request. However, there were two occasions when a refusal was not considered impolite: if there was only one cigarette left in the pack and if the pack was not yet opened.
A pack opened from the bottom and resting, as it normally did, in a shirt pocket would appear unopened. Therefore the soldier in possession of cigarettes would be able to avoid having to give too many away.
At the end of World War II, the returning soldiers brought the practice back home with them. For economic reasons, it continued in the black culture, even as it was dying out among whites.

The second one was given directly to me from Reggie, a co worker. He said that he opened his like that to keep his dirty hands off the filters. I'm sure he was truthful.
