I worked during that too. We got deliveries of less than half what we would normally sell and tried limiting amounts, odd and even, closing some days but in the end everyone got mad so when we got gas we sold as much as anyone wanted til we ran out and that was that aside from dipping the tank 10 times a day to prove we were really out of gas.
