GROUNDED????
Does that mean I can’t go out for the weekend?

It isn’t a ‘Diner’ if it has Waiters.
It isn’t a ‘Diner’ if it closes.
It isn’t a ‘Diner’ if there isn’t at least 1 2 generation waitresses, possible 3.
It isn’t a ‘Diner’ if there isn’t a counter.

A ‘Diner’ has at least 1 waitress whose feet hurt.
A ‘Diner’ has at least 1 waitress who is ‘waiting’ for the other job. Go back in a year and she is still there, still working hard.
A ‘Diner’ is like a neighborhood bar. Each one you visit you will see the same ‘character(s)’ just a different town, different establishment.

If you go in a ‘Diner’ and act right, they will treat you like they have known you your entire life.

A ‘Diner’ in the South is the heart of the town (at night) and you can always tell how many Police or Deputies on duty
as when the ‘stranger’ with those out of state plates sits down the local duty LEO will stop by or at least ‘cruise’ the parking lot.

That is (or was) Americana at its finest......
