I thought that was a woman wearing a head scarf! Something else you don't see anymore, lol!! But..... my sister Jean still wears them, lol! Of course she is older than dirt..... Isn't it amazing how we get off the topic in such a short amount of time? It's fun to remember things these kids now a days will never know about.Kind of sad too......

That's not a guy and it's not a white sack. As Cutlassgal says, it's a woman with a headscarf on, and she's facing away from us, so we're seeing the back of her head. She's waiting in line at the prescription counter.
This photo IS from some time in the mid-1960s, I believe.

My thoughts as well. I was going to post it.. but you beat me to it Rob..
and it looks to me more like a mesh something more than a sack..
Maybe it is survelance photo taken right before or after he attempted to get some stuff without paying..

In 1965? I don't think so! 
And certainly not a COLOR photo. Color photography was still a bit of an extravagance back then, and it certainly wouldn't have been used for something like everyday surveillance photography.
If anything, to deter shoplifting, drugstores in those days had those big convex mirrors mounted up high so someone standing in the back of the store could see down each aisle. There was no such thing as wall or ceiling-mounted cameras in those days.

7-11 is the only place I remember tube testers. Seems my TV always went out on Sunday night. I remember pulling the back off, carefully pulling the tubes and heading to 7-11. Most of the time I usually found a bad tube and the guy would open the cabinet and get me the replacement.

I test tubes by switching from one channel to the other, they actually last a surprisingly long time. My vintage 60's gear has outlasted my much newer solid state gear. Tubes were before my time but I thought they were neat and began collecting vintage Mac, Fisher and HH Scott. . . .and an Oldsmobile.
