Sure.... and you most likely asked for a Maraschino Cherry to garnish it.

And the kids working the counters were called soda jerks because of the soda mixing taps similar to beer taps.

Now the kids behind the counters are mostly flat out plain jerks

We didn’t have to ask for the cherry on top - it came gratis ;-)

I worked at Woolworth’s in Boston 1948-—1950-—part time,as a highschooler.

Gene Autry’s “Rudolph the Red Nosed reindeer” came out then,at Christmastime, and they played it CONSTANTLY to hype the 45s that they were selling.

I’d work for 10 hours on Saturday and IT NEVER STOPPED.

I’ve hated the song since then.
