Dairy Mart — Restaurant in Pecos

I lived in Pecos back in the early 1980's, and Dairy Mart was GREAT back then. Our family moved back to Florida in 1984 and I hadn't been back to Pecos until 2021 when I was returning home from California after moving my daughter there.

We counted 23 packages of salt. A bit later I asked her why they didn't give it out,if it was because of the expense she said yes.After little research it's about 1.50$ per 1000 packages of pepper versus salt I guess I'll have a HEART attach putting that much salt on my Burger and...
