    readers would be interested in, please do so. TAP readers
    are the main source of our information. You c~n help by

    oyees of those companies would be glad to screw their boss

    Dear TAP,
    Unlon Oil Co. is reportedly salting away gasoline in its
    dead service stations. Next time you find such an ostensibly
    folded station, it wouldn't hurt to see if the storage tanlcs
    are really empty(Union may not be ~one in the use of the
    tactic); if there's g~as there, feel free to indulge in the
    "sp~rit of '76".

    Dear TAP,
    I have heard a rumor tbat operators in Boston have been
    giving only minor hassles to C. C. c~ers, the usual ploy
    
    being a question as to wLether the caller is using the 1974
    nu~nber or last years. This has proven to scare off only
    the most nervous of customers.

    Dear I~AP,
    
    There is a ~pe of sandwich machine, with 13 tiers of 10
    compartTnents, which cycle past a column of sliding doors
    Ln chain f~shion at the push of a button. Cycle the sandwich
    you want to the door for tbat tier, pay your mo'-.ey, ~nd
    tzLke your chances. If, instead of sliding ½he door to the

    





    right, one slides it up against tbe track, pries the bottom
    of the door slightly outward ~na the crack at the bottom, &
    then puUs the door down and slightly outward, enough space
    is left at the top to squeeze ~ sandwich past (or maybe more
    than one);no deposit, no re~rn. Don't do this; some glut-
    tonaus foo} may observe your technique, emp~y the machine
    and infLict a serious case of indigestion upon themselves. It
    is considered lacking in strle to cave in the front panel of
    this (or any ~endor) with a hammer, or to remove it with a
    glass cutter (or chemic~, in the ~e of plastic panels).
    
    When the man comes to refill the vending machines, and
    leaves his keys in the lock with his back turned, do not
    take the key ring away; this will get him in trouble.
