NOw for $1-3 more you can get the same crap, a third to half the size in the frozen meals section and enjoy the taste of cardboard and plastic!

When I was a kid in the 50's and into the 60's, every Woolworth's store had a lunch counter. Prices were economical. Fast food probably put those out of business. But I remember the K-Mart in-store eating area in back. They had tables where groups could sit. Low prices, as the 1977 ad shows.Brown gravy days
The 102nd store ain't exactly Shangri-La.(Derp) I got 102nd/82nd cornfused. Yeah, that 82nd store is a scary area!
I had completely forgotten those places having food like that. When I was a kid it was always a treat to go to those stores and have lunch. Damn that brings back memories.When I was a kid in the 50's and into the 60's, every Woolworth's store had a lunch counter. Prices were economical. Fast food probably put those out of business.

When I moved to Portland in '83, "Newberry's" across from Lloyd Center Mall had a cafeteria in the back corner. Walk in the door and you smell it. Those places always smelled like the school lunch rooms. K-Mart in Utah didn't have a cafeteria I don't believe. They did have the ice cream and sandwich counter though. I remember cheap hoagies, or some sandwich, that were cheap and dad would buy a couple dozen and freeze them. Ahh, depression era kids!I had completely forgotten those places having food like that.

I'm "Gen X" and remember all of these places right up until I was a teenager. In Phoenix, AZ, Smitty's (like a Fred Meyer) had both a restaurant and a cafe/pizza area. So good.I had completely forgotten those places having food like that. When I was a kid it was always a treat to go to those stores and have lunch. Damn that brings back memories.
What's painful to think about is it's late boomers, and Gen-x children's, children that are the problem.I'm "Gen X" and remember all of these places right up until I was a teenager. In Phoenix, AZ, Smitty's (like a Fred Meyer) had both a restaurant and a cafe/pizza area. So good.
Maybe the worst thing about being "Gen X" is I got to sample all of the good things from the past, but now I have to suffer what the world is becoming.
Wait, you're a child or an elder now?What's painful to think about is it's late boomers, and Gen-x children's, children that are such nasty animals.
As a child I relished and had deep respect for the elders where I lived, and still do, naturally give respect to people. The only difference is, I ARE one now!
Still a child in a lot of ways, don'tcha know? Unlike a lot of people, from what I hear, I respect people from the get-go. If after that they show they don't deserve respect? They won't get it. Maybe that's part of the big problem now? People not respecting others.Wait, you're a child or an elder now?
When you look up what a "leykis" is in the dictionary there is a picture of a dick."Respect all women? Not a chance. Every woman is like any other person. You earn respect. It isn't just assigned to you. Most women are not worthy of my respect anyway" - Tom Leykis
